Issue with VM3 custom_disabler / custom_override #8422

Hello Roland,

Having checked your nice tutorial regarding usage of custom_disabler / custom_override, i think there is an issue when trying to use these when the same custom field is used multiple times for a product, let me explain using the following example of import file (fyi it relates to car brakes):

product_sku product_parent_sku custom_title custom_value custom_override
HO09-286 CALIPERTYPECALIPERTYPEROTORTYPECALIPERCOLORCALIPERCOLOR 6 POT SPORT FIXED4 POT STREET FIXEDDrilledGreenYellow
HO09-304 HO09-286 CALIPERTYPECALIPERTYPE 8 POT SPORT FIXED8 POT STREET FIXED Y~Y

Things to note

• All Custom fields of parent product HO09-286 are inherited to HO09-304.
• The custom fields ROTORTYPECALIPERCOLORCALIPERCOLOR and their values are also used by HO09-304 so we don't import them again and we use the inherited values.
• We just want to override the values of CALIPERTYPE~CALIPERTYPE.

The problem is that CSVI sees as CALIPERTYPE only the 1st instance of the CALIPERTYPE field for the parent (the one i have colored in red) and not the other instances.

So, after above import we will have the following values for the child product HO09-304:

8 POT SPORT FIXED (this overrides 6 POT SPORT FIXED)
8 POT STREET FIXED (again, this overrides 6 POT SPORT FIXED which is wrong, should overwrite the 4 POT STREET FIXED)
4 POT STREET FIXED (this is not overriden, still the parent value is there)

So it seems that we need a way to have CSVI recognize the different instances of the same custom field. Same ofcourse applies to custom_disabler field.

I hope above is clear!

Rgrds,
Chris
