Subtitle on csv file

As far as I know, the default export is .xml and *should* include post meta. I’m not sure how you are generating a .csv file, but you’d have to ensure it includes all post meta or find out how to customize it to specifically include the kia_subtitle meta field.

You could also try a plugin such as WP All Export.

Hello!
In Woocommerce version after 5~ there is an option to export the products in a CSV file (I have posted screenshots).

Even if the “Export custom meta” checkbox is checked, the subtitle is not in the exported file.

Did not realize you were referencing the WooCommerce product import/export.

I suspect (but can’t confirm) it’s not reading the meta field since the subtitle meta key is kia_subtitle and it is NOT prefixed with an underscore…. _kia_subtitle like it probably should have been. But I wrote this ages ago and have learned a lot since then. ??

So I think there are 2 approaches that could work here.

1. possibly filter woocommerce_data_store_wp_product_read_meta here: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/blob/3611d4643791bad87a0d3e6e73e031bb80447417/plugins/woocommerce/includes/data-stores/class-wc-data-store-wp.php#L113

2. map the meta to a custom import/export field. I do this in one of my WooCommerce plugins so it’s possible… a little tricky though.

Unfortunately, you will either need some custom development or will need to try a different importer/exporter to resolve this. I would like to say I will update the plugin to use a _ prefix, but that would involve writing an update routine and I have to prioritize my paying plugins.
