Update via import issues

Hi,

I'm trying to update several thousand items by using the import update option and I've run into a few issues:

- it is not possible to do the import without selecting a category
- when importing, the secondary categories are removed from the existing items

Also when I export existing items, the State field is blank, I need this information when importing. It would be convenient if the status field could remain unchanged unless specified when updating.

Thank you

Hello

- it is not possible to do the import without selecting a category

This is necessary only for new items, and it acts as a "default"

you have a category (catid) column, and you are doing an update-only ,
then the above category will not be used !

So having to select it should not be a problem ??

- when importing, the secondary categories are removed from the existing items

hhmm things that are not specified should not be lost

i will test/confirm this and then make a fix

- Also when I export existing items, the State field is blank, I need this information when importing. It would be convenient if the status field could remain unchanged unless specified when updating.

I will check this , address this

I can work around/with the category, I just wondered if there might be something I was missing.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Wondering you have any update on these issues?

Hello

Have been busy with creating next feature release
v3.4.0
Maybe by end of this week

Will do work on import after v3.4.0

HI,

Was there any update to these issues in the last version?

Thanks
