Updated File Import & Export Functionality for Channel Specific Properties

We've released some additions to our file import and export functionality to better support channels whose properties have not yet been matched to similar properties (from other channels) and channel level overrides that you explicitly want to set.

If you aren't seeing a property included in your export or as an available property to map to on import, it's likely the property was previously not supported through file uploads.

If a property does not have a pencil icon displayed across from the property name (meaning it hasn't been matched to similar properties) OR if the property is a channel level override (meaning you set a unique value to be sent to a specific channel), you can now export the property as a spreadsheet column or import content to the property through a file upload.

To export these property types, select the SKUs you'd like to export from the products workspace, hit the Export button, and select "Include channel specific properties". From here, you can select specific channels if you'd only like to include properties specific to certain channels. Once the export is complete, any property associated with the categories of selected SKUs will appear as columns in the file. Channel specific properties will have the channel name prepended to the property name (ex. TikTok Reprotoxic Chemicals).

When importing property values, be sure they meet the requirements of the property type (just like you would in the app). If the property requires a selection from a dropdown list, be sure to input the exact matching value from the available options. When you're ready to import a file, select the Products content type and upload your file. Columns will be automatically mapped to properties with the same name. Channel specific properties will be made clear by the channel icon shown to the left of the property name. Once you hit Import, the property values will be set on the channel specific properties or channel level overrides.
