Importing Product Data For Custom Column

Developers Dev talks
1

I have some data that I am importing/exporting via CSV.
I have the following scheme in products.post.php

$schema['export_fields'][__("ez_wo_adjustments")] = array(
  'db_field'=>'ez_wo_adjustments',
  'process_put' => array ('ez_wo_exim_import_adjustments', '#key', '#row', '#new'),
  'process_get' => array('ez_wo_exim_export_adjustments', '#this'),
  'return_result' => true
);

The ez_wo_exim_import_adjsutments() takes string data, parses it and then returns a serialized array that I expect to be stored in the ez_wo_adjustments field in the products table.
However, it is storing the string value from the import file.

I've verified that fn_import() is correctly seeing the data in this statement (I.e. $result has the proper value)

 $import_data[$k][$lang][$group['return_field']] = $result;

I'm kind of stumped on why it's not storing the serialized array().

Anyone with a clue?

Try to use convert_put instead of process_put

That did it. Sure wish this stuff was documented somewhere.

So what does 'process_put' do with the return result? Is it only looking for true/false to indicate an error or not? Again, be nice if the developer documentation addressed this.

Thanks for the quick response.

Frankly speaking, I do not remember. But agree, documentation is poor for this
