Also, note that you can't change the product_code of your products with that method. That's because the import system relies on the product_code to update the products you already have. If that's necessary, then the only possible solution would be the one through PHPMyAdmin I was proposing as second solution in my previous message.

Thanks in advance!!")* Hi, 1. Because the product_id is auto incremented and can change from one website to another. Like when people are migrating their shop from one joomla to another joomla and they do the import several times while modifying their CSV in between. 2. You can use the column images_name in your CSV to add the image name which will be used as title/alt 3. If you don't tick that option "Save the products on Mass Action csv import" it will just load the products data from the CSV and if you don't have any action in the mass action, nothing will happen. But with that option ticked, it will update/add the products in the database after loading the information from the CSV even without any action.

Just a last question: Is there a difference between the mass action we discussed and the import function at the product page or are they different ways to the same result?

Thanks in advance!!")* Hi Nicolas, I didn't use the import, but mass actions....and didn't use the "images" column, because I thought the import relies on the "product_code" column. Can this be the cause of the failing import of the "images_name" column?

Thanks in advance!!")* Hi, Yes. As I said in my last message, the images_name column will only be taken into account for the import, it won't work with a mass action. And it also requires the "images" column to be present in the CSV (otherwise the system doesn't know which image name correspond to which image of the product (since a product can have several images)) So to update a brand name in the title/name of images of products, I think the best will be to do it via PHPMyAdmin. It's actually quite easy. You can follow the instructions at [ bobcares.com/blog/find-and-replace-in-phpmyadmin/](https://bobcares.com/blog/find-and-replace-in-phpmyadmin/) for the column file_name of the table hikashop_file where the images data is stored.
