Hello,

We have the following situation:
In the past, we have imported VM products, with full content (images, description etc). These products were essentially clones, with only the titles and custom fields being different.

We are now reorganizing these products, by having created a Parent product with all the common info (images, description), and want to replace the products as Child products to that parent.

Unfortunately, re-importing the products to use the parent, does not seem to delete the previously defined images, prices, description text etc... So they do not inherit the content from the parent.

Are we missing a setting someplace? Or do we need to do it the hard way? (i.e. manually, or delete and re-import the products)

Thank you

In import template there are individual settings to delete prices, shopper groups, manufacturer and images on File tab and Options tab. See attached screenshots. But if you want to completely delete the product and re import it. You need to do two imports, with first import use product_sku and product_delete field with value set to Y. This will delete the products. With second import you can re import the products. Let me know if that helps.
