Use the import_{...} filter hook.
Try adding this method in your posted example plugin.
public function import_noou_swatches_options( $aImportedData, $aStoredData ) {
$_aDefaultColors = array(
'#dd3333',
'#1e73be',
'#8224e3',
);
$_aImportedColors = $this->oUtil->getElementAsArray(
$aImportedData,
array( 'repeatable_tabbed_section', 'my_color' )
);
$aImportedData[ 'repeatable_tabbed_section'][ 'my_color' ] = array_merge( $_aDefaultColors, $_aImportedColors );
return $aImportedData;
}

ADded that in however now when exporting I get a JSON file but when importing it says:
The uploaded file type is not supported: application/txt
So I am assuming the mine type for txt can be added? I’m just curious why it will have changed from json to txt?
Thanks!

So changing the mine type to txt from json works! the only thing is that if the colour already exists it still adds it in.
This is a minor detail but would be nice to avoid if possible.
Just modify the code I posted by adding a condition which checks if the color array is empty or not. If empty, do not merge.
As for changing the mime type, it should not have to be set. If you exported the data as text, that might be the case though. Otherwise, the default export format is json and you should not be getting such an error. So double-check if you are not modifying anything for the export file format.

Hi Again,
Something I have just noticed that isn’t working as expected.
The code you sent adds an array of default colours which are coded into the import process.
I do not want to have these default colours. That is fine I can remove that from the code you sent.
What I am trying to avoid is overwriting the colours in the system already. For example:
Saved Colours:
#fff
#000
#333
Import File Contains:
#dedede
#999
#666
Final Saved Colours should be:
#fff
#000
#333
#dedede
#999
#666
Is this possible as the current code doesnt do this?
Thanks
Ben
Hi,
The second parameter receives the stored data. So you can extract the options form it. Then replace the extracted values with the default values in that example code.
You already know the structure of the options array and how to retrieve values from a multi-dimensional array.
So give it a try. I believe you can do it.
Post code if you get stuck.

Ahh I’m so silly! yes i didn’t think about calling my current array rather than the default values! Got it working now. Thank you very much!
