The CSV files I get from my supplier are awkward, and the only way to get them to import properly without messing up the categories is to use the category_namekey to assign products to categories. At the moment the only way I can see how to edit a cetegories namekey is to do it through phpmyadmin. Is there any way I can do this from the hikashop admin panel instead? It would really speed things up for me when importing.

Now you could try editing the file "form" of the view "category" for your backend template via the menu Display>Views and add an input for it: Code: <input type="hidden" name="data[category][category_namekey]" value="<?php echo @$this->element->category_namekey; ?>" /> But I'm not sure if that will work.
