Generic child variant import sample CSV #7202

Please, see attached image for better explanation.

Im trying tu setup my import template using child products and the generic child variant feature for VM3. (Image A)

When I import the product, i setup the custom fields title to show display parent using the radio button to "ON", so I understand the default option when importing product for "display parent will be on. (Image B )

So, after import the product and go to the frontend of the SKU, I can not see the name of the child products (Image C)
When i set "override" on the option, it works correctly and i can see the name of the parent. (Image D)

Why? Is this an error from CSVimproved? what i'm doing wrong?

You are missing the custom_param field with the value withParent="1"|parentOrderable="0"|wPrice=0| and missing the field custom_value with the value product_name. These changes only apply to the parent products, they are not needed for the child products.

That should do it.

Kind regards,
