In short, since 4.3.1 you have full control over options, you can export/import the following:
- option combinations (images)
- option exceptions
- option variants (price/weight modifiers, images)
Besides you can make update these properties not only with Export/Import but also using API.
Nice improvements. However....I hope you are also fixing a pesky problem with import of
Options field. Allow me to explain:
Problem: multi-language import of
Options field (Import data/Product/Product tab) ignores 2nd language row. Result: the first language row is applied to all languages in CSC.Even importing each language separately does not help. The last language imported will overwrite all other languages present in CSC
Example: please see example text below. 1 product with 2 languages (EN & NL). The result being that in our NL CSC, the EN Options text is imported instead of the NL Options text.
"Product code";"Language";"Product id";"Product name";"Options"
"91001";"en";"110";"BASIC - Lever";"(Artitec) [[Y]]Set: S[Pair levers only,Single lever DIN-Left,Single lever DIN-Right,]"
"91001";"nl";"110";"BASIC - gatdeel";"(Artitec) [[Y]]Set: S[Paar krukken,Enkel gatdeel DIN-Links,Enkel gatdeel DIN-Rechts,]"
Why relevant: for many products we want to bulk-create Options in Excel and then import them into CSC. Creating Options for multiple languages in CSC by hand for thousands of products is a huge time inefficiency
Please, please fix this in version 4.3.1
thank you
