Update on import csv

Hi!

Would like to know if there is some option to update existing items via the flexicontent import option.

Hello

this is feasible / interesting / useful

-- but how do you imagine matching the items of the CSV file to the items in the Database ?

a. by SAME title ?
ok maybe ...we could do this and provide a warning of unmatched CSV items

b. by item id,
ok but you will have to manually add the ID to CSV file ... OR you could have used an item ID column in the original file

maybe we can make an enhancement issue for this

I guess that the same ID makes more sense if we had also an export option. Update by alias? I know that exists an flexiimport, but is outdated now and I don´t know what plans they have to update it.

Did this make it any further? I've got a basic updated version of FC and J3.2 which has migrated my categories and items, but I'm looking to migrate the additional fields (downloads/thumbnails).

Is there a way to do this yet?

Hello

migrate fields ?

upgrading to a newer FLEXIcontent version, will use the existing FLEXIcontent field data,

maybe your question is not relevant to CSV import,

if so then please open a new forum thread

I'm not sure!

I have existing items in my database, but no 'extra' data 'filenames etc.

If I put the files into the fcdata_import folder, I have created a CSV file with my existing id, title, alias, and filename but can't import it or am I missing something here? Happy to raise a new ticket if required.
