I created a new tab called features on my product detail page. Is there any way to to import to that specific field. I have thousands of products and would love to make it painless.
Have you set up “Features” in the admin? Is this what you are wanting to import data into? If so, it’s one of the fields at Administration > Import Data > Products that you can choose.
I’m looking for this exact thing, but I don’t see features in ImportData->Products.
In the demo, demo.cs-cart.com, some features are mfg and isbn, but neither of those are listed in Import Data…
EDIT: Oh, I see, it, it doesn’t list the specific feature, it just puts everything under ‘Features’ 
Right - the format is kind of funky too… You have to import all the features in one field. Mine looked like this:
I just downloaded the demo edition and am wondering about this as well. I don’t want everything listed in the “Features” tab but aside from entering the information manually I can’t figure out how to import it instead.
The features have to already be created. The numbers in the { } are the database id’s. The value in the [] is the setting value.
Not entirely sure what the T and O are yet.

How about creating new tabs and using import to populate those field values?
Is that possible?
I’ve already figured out how to create the new tabs but I have to populate them manually, how can I use the import function to populate these new tabs?

These are the types of fields - T is text and O is number.

I don’t think you can use the store’s import feature to import into custom tabs.

I did some research on the forums and tried some things on my own. What I found is that I can create a unique block for my product and use the product ID in the database to import into the “cscart_block_option_descriptions” table.
It’s not the easiest job because you have to export the product ID first once everything is imported but at least I see how it’s done.
