New
The new functionality saves time, reduces errors, and increases reliability, especially in large-scale stores.
CSV Export Attributes
Export all existing attributes to a CSV file via Products → Attributes → CSV Export Attributes.
The exported file includes fields such as:
attribute_code;title[fi];title[en];is_filterable;is_comparable;is_listable;is_visible_on_front;is_html_allowed_on_front;sort_order;frontend_input
CSV Import Attributes
Import new or updated attributes using the same file structure.
Required field: attribute_code
Other important fields: multilingual titles (title[fi], title[en], etc.), visibility settings (0 or 1), sort order (sort_order), and input type (frontend_input).
Validation and Error Handling
The system automatically checks headers, column counts, and required fields.
Typical error messages:
“CSV missing header row”
“expected X columns, got Y”
“Attribute already exists!”
Support for Select and Multiselect Options
If the attribute type is select or multiselect, its options are managed in a separate CSV file (CSV Export Options / CSV Import Options).
Example structure:
code;title[fi];attribute;sort_order
Supported
frontend_input
Types
select
multiselect
decimal
text
textarea
boolean
Recommended Workflow
Export existing attributes as a CSV.
Edit the file (e.g., in Excel or Google Sheets).
Import the updated file back into the system.
Check for error messages and confirm a successful update.
Summary:
CSV-based attribute management significantly improves efficiency in bulk product data updates and supports centralized management of multilingual, option, and technical configurations. We recommend starting with a small test file before making larger changes.
