let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks and have a nice day

As I said in my original post, Term ID fails. All are skipped.

My steps are exactly as in the linked how to. It works fine if I search on names (so long as they’re unchanged from the export). But, not Term ID, nor slug.

This is a simple import / export, nothing changed, just a simple test.

My steps:
Step 2
New Import: Taxonomies | Categories | Tags > Product tags
Update existing items & skip new items.
Step 3
Nothing here, all defaults.
Step 4
Field mapping: Name > {Itemname[1]}, Description > {description[1]}
Step 4
Search existing item > Term ID
Update existing items fields > Update all data

Confirm and update > all my items are skipped : -(

I’ve tried Field mapping {termid[1]}, but this, too, fails when I search existing item > Term ID. As said, the only way to update is by searching based on > Name
