Import products attributes issues

To make sure we are on the same page, do you want to change one or two:

One: https://cld.wthms.co/jU5fSl
Two: https://cld.wthms.co/2xsQ7O

_______

If One, then this setting determines whether or not the attribute is shown in this area: https://cld.wthms.co/7BWuO0. Two determines if they are links on this area or not.

The visibility does not refer to whether they are shown in the selects above when adding to cart.

One: https://cld.wthms.co/jU5fSl

I need all those checkboxes disabled via CSV import.

I did bunches of tests around this.

If you export all products, change the “Attribute visible” column to 0 on the Variable product (not variation), then import all products with “merge existing” enabled, then this works as expected and just the visibility setting it changes.

However, I did come across a bug described here: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/19398

So we have a bug then.

The bug I mentioned has a patch in the master branch now (will be in WC 3.4).

The temporarily workaround should be to export/import all products though, not just variable ones. Does that work for you when you try that?
