Hello,

We export products from a VM store. The "Use Canonical Category" option is enabled.
We use the fields: category_id, category_name, product_canon_category_id

The category_id correctly includes one or multiple category ids for the product, if assigned.
The product_canon_category_id field correctly lists the single category id, if assigned.
However...
The "category_name" field is not the canonical category name. It seems to be just the name of the first of the assigned categories. We are interested in using the canonical category name only.

Are we missing something? Or is this not implemented yet?

Thanks.

That is correct, category_name field gets the name of the category assigned for a product. It is not for getting canonical category name.

You are not missing anything, exporting name of canonical category is not implemented yet. As of now only the id of canonical category can be exported for a product using product_canon_category_id field.
Kind regards,

Tharuna
