Attribute not linked to variant on product import

    Hello,
    I’m trying to figure out how to resolve following:

    1. I’ve created an attribute called “Farve” (Danish for color) and options such as Lyser?d (baby pink), Lysebl? (baby blue).
    2. I’ve prepared a csv file with 200+ products and I’m importing / updating the data

    On import (returns all successful), the attributes are not linked to the variants.
    I have to manually go over all the variants and select the proper color attribute.

    I suspect that it’s due to the special characters ? and ?.

    However, when I export the products from Woocommerce the attribute columns contains the attribute names – not the slugs (where ? is replaced by aa and ? by oe).

    Is there any way to use the slugs during import / make sure that things will be linked correct?

    The file I’m testing with is this one: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VhpqBjBgMHgG3_L74hPmu3g8jlc0vD5GcNXn1csgGh4/edit?usp=sharing

    If anyone can push me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated

    Thanks in advance ??

  • Hi,

    I understand that after importing the CSV file with the products (returns all successful), the attributes are not linked to the variants.

    If you create the product manually in the backend, and then export it into a CSV file, you’ll get a template that you can modify each time you need to add a new product, does it work this way?

    Please recheck if your CSV is created according to this documentation below:

    Let us know if there are any questions.
