Hello,
Yes when file_url_thumb has empty value file_url field value is used on import. Import has been working this way for last 5 years. But your point is valid, default image URL should be used if needed. I have made modification to code so you can keep file_url_thumb field empty. To get this changes
1.
Load the attached patch file
2. In import template settings on
Image tab under
Thumbnail image options section set
Fill file_url value to No and save the template. See attached screenshot. If you do not see this option click on
Advanced button on top.
3. Run import and check.
Let me know on how that goes.
Kind regards,
Tharuna
