No matter whether I try to import the products with or without external IDs, Odoo always duplicates the attributes, doubling them. This should not happen and it was not my intention. Here are excerpts from my two import files.
Import for Attributes:
| External ID | Name | Display Type | Variant Creation Mode | Values / External ID | Values / Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| export_color | Farbe | Radio | Instantly | export_black | Schwarz |
| export_white | Weiß | ||||
| export_blue | Blau | ||||
| export_green | Grün | ||||
| export_red | Rot | ||||
| export_yellow | Gelb | ||||
| export_size | Größe | Radio | Instantly | export_xs | XS |
| export_s | S | ||||
| export_m | M | ||||
| export_l | L | ||||
| export_xl | XL | ||||
| export_xxl | XXL |
Import for Product Template:
| External ID | Name | Product Attributes / Attribute / External ID | Product Attributes / Values / External ID | Sales Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| export_template_1 | Schreibtisch | export_color, export_size | export_black, export_blue, export_l, export_xl | Beschreibung von Schreibtisch |
| export_template_2 | Tisch | export_color, export_size | export_blue, export_white, export_green, export_xl, export_m, export_s | Beschreibung von Tisch |
| export_template_3 | Stuhl | export_color, export_size | export_blue, export_green, export_xxl, export_l | Beschreibung von Stuhl |
In the end, when I try to use the template again to update, at least Odoo does not create new templates, but it still duplicates the attributes
I have been thinking about it — could it be that my Excel file’s headers in the template are wrong? However, when I change them to something else, I only get errors and cannot import the file at all, so I believe the headers should actually be correct.
@Fritz Schumacher I have the same issue. Did you find a solution?
@srikesh infotech Why should this work? I tried your suggestion but it still duplicates the attributes for me.
