A Few Points to Note When Importing Data in Magento 2

New entities are added with the attribute values which are designated in the CSV file.
A new entity cannot be imported if it has no value or the value is invalid or no default value is set for a required attribute.
If there is no value or there is an invalid value, as for a required attribute with the default value set, so the entity which is the corresponding row or rows is imported, and the default value is set for the attribute automatically.
The complicated data is invalid leading to the entity which is corresponding row or rows cannot be imported in Magento 2.

Existing Entities

Attributes replace the existing values if attributes are not one of these types: complex data, the values from the import file, attributes including the empty values for the non-required attributes.
If a required attribute is no value or invalid value, so the existing value cannot be replaced.
If the entity contains the complex data which is non-valid, the entity cannot be imported. But when Delete Entities was chosen in the Import Behavior drop-down menu, the entity still can be imported in Magento 2.

Complex Data

If an attribute that is designated in the import file already exists and its value is assumed from a defined set of values, there are two following cases:
The row can be imported and the default value is set for the attribute if the value is not already included in the defined set of values.
The corresponding row cannot be imported if the value is already included in the defined set.
If an attribute that is designated in the import file but it is not defined in the system yet, it is not created and its values are all not imported in Magento 2.

Invalid Files

A file cannot be imported if it contains invalid rows.
An invalid file is a file which contains a non-existing service data or complicated data name designated in the import file. For example: a column with a _ heading.

How to Configure Default Field Values in Magento 2

When creating new products for stores using Magento 2 platform, Product Workspace allows you to save time by providing a number of default field values. These values are referenced from some other fields such as product name, or product description. Magento 2 set the following fields automatically to default values:

  • SKU: Based on Product Name field.
  • Meta Title: Based on Product Name field.
  • Meta Keywords: Based on Product Name field.
  • Meta Description: Based on both Product Name and Product Description fields.

The text that is put in double-curly braces are placeholders and it refers to the value of the base field(s) (Product Name, for example). Any attribute code included in the product attribute set can also be used as a placeholder.

Admin can edit the value of placeholders by the following steps:

Step 1: In the backend mode, go to Admin Sidebar and click Stores.

Step 2: Next, select Configuration under Settings.

Step 3: Expand Catalog on the left panel then choose Catalog.

Step 4: Drop down the Product Fields Auto-Generation section. After that, enter the text that you want to replace the placeholder values. Remember to unmark the Use System Value checkboxes before filling the blanks.Default Field Values

For instance, you want to enclose the word “Magento 2” to the meta descriptions of all products, you just need to enter “Magento 2” in the Mask for Meta Description field. By doing this, the phrase “Magento 2” will be shown up to all of the descriptions.

Step 5: Click Save config on the upper-right corner to confirm your settings.

Below is a list of common placeholders used by many admin:

{{color}}

{{country_of_manufacture}}

{{description}}

{{gender}}

{{material}}

{{name}}

{{short_description}}

{{size}}

{{sku}}

Now you can log in the backend mode and try out setting new values for some placeholders.
