I will be importing feature variants and have some questions before I start. I did a feature export to tab delimited CSV and found that the Variants field of feature Brands contained a list of brand names delimited by a comma and space. If I have a list of brands which I want to import into cs-cart Brands feature variants, how do I escape any non-delimiting commas in my list values the variants field?
For instance, suppose my Brands list is:
"companyA,
companyB,
companyC, Inc. ,
companyD"
Then how do I escape the comma in "CompanyC,Inc." The result i got after adding a dummy variant "testco, inc." and exporting is:
companyA, companyB, companyC, companyD, 'testco.inc.'"
So it seems the variant with a comma needs to be enclosed in single quotes while the whole list also needs to be enclosed in double quotes.
Will importing a list of variants overwrite an existing list of variants? I'm afraid that multiple imports might erase all the descriptions and SEO entries made in my existing variants. Can one import a list of variant names without losing the contents of the other fields? If a list of variants which does not contain every existing variant is imported, what happens to the pre-existing variants which are not imported?
Thanks in advance.
