Have a few ideas about how to address what appears to be a todo item, though I thought it had been otherwise addressed.
The v_products_type field is in the import file and contains the desired values ( 1 & 4)
As I indicated the export file contains the correct value 1&4 in the v_products_type field which was entered/selected via the Admin interface.
Uploading the same file flips all v_products_type back to 1.

Thanks,
