Hi guys
I really love RO CSVI for years but sometimes (usually when I try to import some not frequent field) I got stuck about the possible values of the field.
I was wondering if you could extend RO CSVI with some inline help for the fields? It could be placed to 'Available fields' and/or template field editor. It would be awesome if we could see
- can be used for export or import of both
- type of the field
- example value
- descripton
- does it handle multiple values
- if it does, what is the separator (as far as I can see VirtueMart custom fields use other than the regular pipe | character)
- do we need other import field to work correctly (like Virtuemart price + tax)
- can we use it as key field (like if I'm right, I can not import VirtueMart categories based on virtuemart_category_id)
- etc

Now I work on a VirtueMart uer info import template and found this: https://rolandd.com/documentation/ro-csvi/virtuemart/available-fields but when I check the available fields for Import/VirtueMart/Users info there is no shipping_full_name, can't see if I can import multiple shopprt groups etc

It would be very handy and awesome some better inline help or at least a link to a corresponding help page in the documentation

Hello,
- can be used for export or import of both
- type of the field
- example value
- descripton

We do have these already in the available fields document.

- does it handle multiple values
- if it does, what is the separator (as far as I can see VirtueMart custom fields use other than the regular pipe | character)

Yes this is something which we can add to available fields document.

- do we need other import field to work correctly (like Virtuemart price + tax)

You can import price without tax too. Moreover few fields are common over imports. Getting all the information inline will create confusion on when and how to use the field.

can we use it as key field (like if I'm right, I can not import VirtueMart categories based on virtuemart_category_id)

You can import VirtueMart categories with virtuemart_category_id field. Just that we do not recommend use of ID fields as it is handled by database and tell our users to use required fields instead.

I check the available fields for Import/VirtueMart/Users info there is no shipping_full_name

There is shipping_full_name field in available fields list. See attached screenshot.

can't see if I can import multiple shopprt groups etc

Yes you can import multiple shopper groups separated by |. As mentioned earlier multiple values is a good improvement to documentation. We will add it to the available fields document.
