product_type and attribute_set_code need to be provided, docs wrong?

[amenk]

On https://docs.m2if.com/38/file-structure/product-import/scopes it looks like the two attributes product_type and attribute_set_code are not necessary for the store view scope lines.

product-import_20200629_1.zip

Still this file is not working:

sku,store_view_code,product_type,attribute_set_code,name
12345,,simple,Default,some global name
12345,shop_de_de,,,name de
12345,shop_at_de,,,name at
12345,shop_gb_en,,,name gb
12345,shop_it_it,,,name it

When filling those fields, it is working.

@amenk The column attribute_set_code is mandatory, also on store view level. The validation for column product_type will be fixed with the next release.

Great, thanks for checking. We should update the sample in the docs as well. There are misleading here :)

[wagnert]

@amenk I already did update the documentation, hope everything get's clear now :)

Hi @amenk, up from version 3.8.24 the column product_type is NOT mandatory on store view but on main row level. The column attribute_set_code is mandatory in all rows, as it is used to load the EAV attributes that has to be updated. Probably we'll find a better solution in future releases :)
