Importing into Custom Post Meta?

    I’ve created a metabox to store some custom post meta (not using custom fields) and I am saving this meta on save. My question is, is there a way either manually or automatically I can include this custom post meta to be imported into.

    For example, I have a metabox which holds some inputs (names: ‘_product_stock’, ‘_product_color’, etc.) and it gets saved as any custom post meta should. How do I make my post meta discoverable or add these post meta fields to the importer?

    Need to create the meta-box fields without starting “_” as prefix ex: product_stock instead of “_product_stock”. And in CSV the field names are mentioned as header. If the fields are not shown in our mapping section to import on the first import you can choose the “Add Custom Field” option and enter the relevant field name in the corresponding enable text box on the mapping section. Now the custom fields of your meta box will import in correct manner.
