Is it possible to update just specific columns of data using the CSV or do I have to have all columns of data to update it?
Reason I ask is that the description field contains html data that may cause the update to not complete successfully, there are a lot of commas in the file, so using a comma delimited import file will cause lots of problems unless I can update only specific pieces of data such as the id, sku, titles, and traits in order to update my available sizes and quantities…
Otherwise, I’ll be updating everything one item at a time which is a big pain…

Hi @AmysTreasureTrove,
Thanks for reaching out. You can use a force_update column to update your CSV files. By default, if an inventory file is uploaded that has the same ID as an already-processed item, we will ignore the item. However, if the force_update column is set to “true” for an item, then we will refresh all of the information for the item (and add any newly mentioned pictures), so if anything has changed it will be updated.You will need to have all data in the CSV columns to update; otherwise, any missing information on your CSV will be removed from your listings when you use the force_update.

Remember these tips:
- Use links to other sources to support your opinions
- Use examples where possible
- Put yourself in the inquirers shoes: what extra info would be helpful?
Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
Post an answer for:
- Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question
Post a comment for:
- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
