Exporting reference data in attribute options #58

Closed buttash closed 8 years ago

buttash commented 8 years ago

In #49 I raised the issue of exporting reference data values within the attribution option export. In that thread it was said that:

About reference datas, they are exported like options today. It needs custom export on PIM side for each reference data as we can't know the fields and format needed.

I have run a normal export and cannot see the reference data values. Did I mis-understand the comment or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks Martin

Hi @buttash

I did a products export with reference datas. You can see the reference datas linked to product values like that (color and fabrics columns): image

But the export of your reference datas itself should be a dedicated ones (one export = one reference data). It is not linked to the attribute options as the columns could be everything in the reference datas. The attribute options CSV export is a native and dedicated export. There is no native CSV export for reference datas. We would provide one in the https://github.com/akeneo-labs/CustomEntityBundle but I don't know when it will be done.

I don't advice you to add reference datas in the native attribute options export as it will override these datas are heterogenous and you will need to override the default behavior.

I hope my answer is more clear now :)
