Merging does not replace attribute values when different.
-
When I update a csv file to be imported, so most of the lines being imported are similar with maybe some changes to some attributes, prices, etc.., I have found that if an attribute does not match the existing value, it will add on to the existing value instead of replacing it.
What I would need it to do is to replace the attribute and not add on to it?
Example, I have an attribute slug name “gender” and a products with the value “male” for this attribute, in the new csv being imported I replaced the value to female… What I get as a result is “male, female” registered in the product attribute. So it doesn’t replace the value male, instead it adds on to it. I would like to replace the value and not add on to the existing value (which happens to work with all other types of data: price, descriptions, etc.., etc…)
I do not want to make new products with the same sku, as the id will be changed and I loose SEO rankings as I have seen that doing this method returns 404 error on google until they crawl and update the new item. So I suppose merging is the only method to not loose SEO.
