Update / Delete / Reset Attribute Values Via CSV

[fierceonline]

Hi,

I am trying to update current attribute values via CSV, my attributes already have values assigned to them and I want to either delete them or reset them back to no value. I have tried every different type of import but I can't seem to get it correct.

If I leave the value blank and upload the value doesn't change, even if I try all 3 upload options, amend, replace and delete.

This seems pretty poor if it can't be done via CSV I have over 12,000 and return attributes back to "no value" manually seems a bad way to do it.

Can anyone help shed some light on this please.

Hello.

I guess it is not possible via export/import.

I have found this case, where it can be solved with the help of script -

If you don't have tech skills as an alternative you can use extension - Store Manager for Magento. It has multi-editor tool built-in, so using it you can do the task in following way:

- select goods to reset attribute values for

- open multi-editor

- if this drop-down attribute, from drop-down select empty value, if this text, just clear text and tick 'Update box'.

This works for products from 1 attribute set, so if you have a few sets, filter products by attribute set and then perform procedure.

Since it is basically one-time procedure you can perform it with free fully-functional trial of Store Manager app that you can download from my signature.

Hello @Jeeva Rathinam

Would you like to bulk import attribute options?

Also of what Catalog input type are the attributes you want to bulk add values for?
