Import meta data

    Hello,

    I have installed on my website a plugin called WooCommerce Advanced Quantity, here is the website for the plugin https://codecanyon.net/item/woocommerce-advanced-quantity/11861326

    I have tried to import my product csv list with the additional columns required to fill the meta for the plugin.

    I have used this format for the column header : “Meta: _advanced-qty-min”
    – as I found the format “Meta: ” in WooCommerce documentation,
    – and the name of the plugin field ” _advanced-qty-min” in a previous export of my product list

    However none of the meta fields seem to be imported.

    I have reported it to the plugin editor support team but they have not managed to make it work either. Therefore they advise me to contact the forum for a solution.

    Thank you in advance for your help !

    When you export with this setting checked: http://cld.wthms.co/fMg03P, are these custom columns present in the CSV file? If not, it could be because either their values aren’t scalar, or because they are private perhaps.

    Send them this link: https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/wiki/Product-CSV-Importer-&-Exporter#adding-custom-import-columns-developers

    They can add official support for the custom fields, rather than relying on the custom meta option.

    Hello,
    Sorry for my late answer. Actually, the custom columns are well present in the export file when I check that field that you show in your reply.
    But the other way round does not work when I try to import in WooCommerce new products with data in these columns.
    Thank you in advance for your help and feedback, as we have a very long list of products to update it would be a nightmare to do it without using the import function.
    Best regards
