[V1.7.6.4.] CSV Import error - Property Product->text_fields is not valid

[NeilT]

Hi

Using Prestashop V1.7.6.4.

I want to import products and set a customisation text_field but i consistently get "Property Product->text_fields is not valid" error message.

Column "Customizable (0 = No, 1 = Yes)" is "1"

For column "Text fields (0 = No, 1 = Yes)" I have tried all manner of formats.

In have seen that "Label|1" should work but it does not.

I've also tried using a colon "Label:1" and reversing the order "1:Label" etc, all to no avail.

Plenty of internet searches don't lead me anywhere except that the format should be "Label|1" (label, pipe, 1 or 0) and now I am out of ideas.

All other data is correct and the product will import if I do not set these values.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Neil

Hello,

Cannot add text or file fields despite import in administration.
You must write your own import script.

Thanks for confirming that. 

Shame they list it as an option as I've wasted far too long trying to make something work that was never going to.

On to Plan B.

There is nothing difficult to write your own import script.
I gave here many examples of how to import from CSV and XML.
But I do not want to look 😉

You can use the built-in Prestashop import module without text fields and write only a small script to import only the text field.
