set defaults for Linked files when importing

We have a list of 700 products and many have specifications in PDF format. So far we have manually linked them in using the Files option in Product details. However, when we export and re-import as a CSV file the links are lost and the settings messed up See before and after screenshots.

Is there a way to either set as default Free download, Download Number Limited and Name? OR specify them as columns in the import CSV?

We don't often need to export and re-import but it is very handy.

Hi,

The export/import system does not handle all options of product files.
If you want to change the default values, you have to edit the helper import and see the function "_insertFiles".
You will see that the SQL query insert several values but not all values.
If you want to set the default values, you can specify them directly in the database. By setting the "default" value for the column.
Otherwise, you can update the query in the helper import.

Regards,

It could be nice to import file_free_download field in the CSV by default in Hikashop.

Hi,

Yes, it will and it is already in our TODO list.
It will be done with a re-factoring of the import system but I can't give any date for that.
