Sorry for the long delay, I was away w/ the family off the grid for a bit.
That is from the site where Basic Attributes was not working for me. Do you need the settings from the other site ?

Please provide the same so that can see if those settings drive a different result on export or if there is another factor to consider. Thank you and no problem on the delay, thank you for taking the time to come back and address.

GitHub: there are many branches and the Master seems way behind others. Hard to know what to use, to feed back PRs....

Without knowing what the suggestion is, I would say that the master branch should be used to then maybe incorporate into a further appropriate location.

I just don't want to reinvent wheels....for things that are already addressed in another branch.

Suggestions could be many, or nothing show-stopping yet.

Perhaps could raise a an issue and if already addressed then can point out the where? Right now one of the issues is that there has been an overhaul of some central processing to then also address existing issues.

I can say that one "topic" that is being worked on though not yet shown in Github is identification of database field defaults to expand on improved import capability. Unfortunately for me I have been focusing on update operations more than insert and had lost out on addressing import of product where fields were omitted. I didn't want to implement something very short term that was going to need to be undone immediately so am trying to address it in a single modification with any issues identified to be corrected.

i need help using Easy Populate V4

I am trying copy all my product from one store to another.

Easy populate installation was easy on both store.
I choose Complete product as an export but i am getting an error when trying to upload it to the new store.

The error is and goes for all products:

SKIPPED! - v_products_model: FI66 - No category provided for this new product
SKIPPED! - v_products_model: E8-4812P - No category provided for this new product
SKIPPED! - v_products_model: FI86 - No category provided for this new product
SKIPPED! - v_products_model: FD85 - No category provided for this new product
SKIPPED! - v_products_model: FW89 - No category provided for this new product

However the file has a v_category_name_1 and the new store is entirely blank ( see screenshot)

Any ideas on how to fix this? Thank you for your help
