Hi,
I am not sure is this a bug or i am doing something wrong. We are looking to import products via csv improved and had some issues. So to see how it is working by default with hikashop import system we created csv file like this:
Everything imports fine but the issue is that both variants are preselected as default in back end product variant edition page. Also on front end product has no variants. So whats the issue?
Kind Regards

Hello,
Both of your variants are using the same characteristic value ; so I'm afraid that your content is incorrect and the issue is logical.
Afterwards, you need to check that these characteristic values are correct and exist in your store ; please note that the case is important.

Hi Jerome,
I see your point and modified csv to look like this:
It works fine. 2 Variants are added and preselected is Black.
But what if I need to import 3 variants which has same color with different sizes? How csv should look? Could you give example please?
As example I have BLACK dress in 3 sizes S, M, L
Kind Regards

Update. So found what was giving issue.
The size variant was different. For customization purpose we had to use span attribute inside variant like this: "<span class="item_size">S</span>"
This did the job:
So question. Could hikashop improve system and add attribute with unique class inside label for each variant? As for now each variant is inside label after input. And there is no way to apply css for variant which is after checked input. So extra class/attribute is needed.
Kind Regards

It's the same principle:
Code:
product_code,product_parent_id,color,size,categories
main_product,,Black,S,148
first_variant,main_product,Black,S,
second_variant,main_product,White,S,
third_variant,main_product,Black,M,
fourth_variant,main_product,White,M,
fifth_variant,main_product,Black,L,
sixth_variant,main_product,White,L,
