Hi
I wanted to update the products from the previous site to the new site through the csv file. But it displayed the following message:

It seems that during multiple updates, you didn't consider trash type products when importing products.

Hi,

No, we did consider it and that's why you get that message.
The product you're trying to import either has the type "product" in the column "product_type" of your CSV, or you don't have a column "product_type" in your CSV. And in your database you have a product with the exact same product_code in the trash (with the product_type "trash"). So either you need to clear your trash (go in the products listing, click on the "trash" button, and then the "clear" button if your want to remove all the products in the trash), or you want to set the product_type to "trash" for that product in your CSV so that the import can update the product in the trash. Then, you can import again the CSV file and it will work.
