Hi Justin,
can you send me a zip of your import files. I will need a full export of the items you were adding attributes to.
this way I can attempt to recreate what happened on your end.
be sure to send me both your .xls and .csv files. you are using OpenOffice to make your CSV's?
no other language set to default than english? english has to be default with attribute import

I uploaded my own items using Attrib-Basic-EP-examples.csv template and the message showed that my items got updated correctly. When i checked it under zen cart> admin>catalog> Attributes Controller, no attributes were added to my items and all item names got EMPTIED for the items listed in the csv file.
Can you please check if this is a bug? Thank you for your help.

Hiya,
glad that helped. MS has been very frustrating to deal with. Different version make different CSV depending on the settings. EP4 uses PHP's csv functions which are very efficient, but less cross platform forgivable.

oh, one last thing. the error reporting on the attributes import is not complete, so it may say it imported records, but didn't.
THAT is a bug that I haven't fixed yet.
Also, I highly recommend you install Dr. Bytes MySQL backup tool. Once installed you can backup your store's databases before doing an import, and restore with a click if something went wrong.
after years of using ep, and even after developing ep4, I still use that tool all the time.
