Hello everyone,

I'm working with Odoo V12 Community and trying to import a product Excel file with the following fields:

• name
• description
• image (base64 encoded JPG)
• datasheet (base64 encoded PDF)

🎯 Goal:

Directly import images and technical datasheets into product records, using fields.Binary for both.

📎 Context:

I encoded the files to base64 using a Python script and inserted them into the Excel file (one column for image, one for datasheet). However, when I import the file via the Odoo interface, the fields remain empty—nothing is displayed or saved.

Any idea why this happens?

Does the Excel import support base64 strings for binary fields in V12?

Thanks in advance! 🙏
