Hikashop csv import not displaying images

Hello,

I have a client with a retail store that sells textile products that require a significant number of product variants. As an example the client has a single product with over 100 different values for a single characteristic (fabrics) and then another 8 values for the second characteristic so a single product can have over 800 different variants counting all the different characteristic combinations.

What I am trying to do is assign an image to several product variants based on the value of one of these characteristics via a csv import. I have exported the product list with all variants and then inserted the correct image file into images_path to point to the image then used the import function within products to re import the modified file, however Hikashop seems to duplicate the products I re import even though I have checked the update product check box.

Am I doing this correctly? I had initially hoped to do this via a mass action but from what I have read this is not possible (no image options for product mass actions). Any help with the issue would be appreciated.

Regards
Peter

Hi Nicolas,

I think I may have found the issue, when I was opening the csv file in excel 2016 I was using text to columns to separate the data however the text qualifier was defaulting to the double quotation " and removing all the quotes within each column i.e

"someText" was becoming -> someText
