Resolved Virtuemart import Custom fields with multiple values

Good morning,

Thank you for the elaborate report

Your custom field is of the type string showing as a list. That is correct? The string field can only have 1 option selected.

The custom_multiple can be removed from your file. With the attached patch file, load the patch file, you can import your custom fields. As per your example this adds 2 custom fields to the parent product with each field set to 1 value.

Let me know if this is how you intend it to work and if it works for you.

Hello,

Thank you very much! The patch works like a charm.

Your custom field is of the type string showing as a list. That is correct?

Yes, it is as a list.

In case it is not a list, my file won't work either?
Testing it with my other needs. Will let you know if any additional issues.

Hello,

Thank you that the patch is working as expected. In case it is not a list, your file will work as well. When you field is not a list, the import should have worked as well. Now it should work in all circumstances.

Hello RolandD,
After several testing last thing remains unclear to me.
I'd like to disable some custom fields inherited from parent product in child. But instead I get them duplicated and disabled.
Here's how problem part of the file looks.



This is my expectations for child product



This is what import gives



Log and copy of the file is attached as well.
No need to use custom_multiple in this case?
Just guessing.

Hello,

I see what is going on here. For the parent product you import for example 8 fields and then for the child product you import 2 fields to set them to disabled from the parent. What happens is that the child is showing the parent fields but also gets the 2 fields you added for the child product.

The goal is to only set those fields to disabled, correct?

Yes, that's correct

Good morning,

Your file is correct and RO CSVI is correct, in my findinds VirtueMart is doing some weird things. The import runs as expected and does the same as what VirtueMart does when you manually set the disabler option.

So I imported your file and on the child product I enabled the disabler in VirtueMart. This was saved. So I compared this to what is imported and that is the same. Now in the child product I removed the disabler and saved it in VirtueMart, suddenly this product has the custom field 4x. This is 2x the same one, so they are double. If I repeat this process, the product gets the fields duplicated again. You can try it as well.

After import in the database they are not duplicate, but only on screen.

Something weird is going on in VirtueMart, from the view of RO CSVI, the database is as needed. This is something you may need to report to the VirtueMart team.

Your import file is fine from what I can see.

VM team says that issue will be fixed in 3.8.X release.
Hope release will be soon.
Thank you!

Hello,

Thank you for letting me know it is actually a bug in VirtueMart

Upgraded to VM 3.8 and RO CSVI 7.16.1 - no changes unfortunately.

Hello,

We will have to wait for the VirtueMart team to fix it then.
