It will handle the updates based on either the product_id or the product_code. Also, the import system is something we want to redo next year so that it is more flexible and more user friendly, so thank you for your feedback.

Thank you.")* Thanks for the advise, I was not aware of the import capabilities via VSC of mass actions. Mass actions is a great "component inside the component" so I encourage you to develop with more features and specially making it more "human readable" in the sense of making easier to understand its already available powerful features.
