Sleer,
None of the posted versions of EP have working attribute import. You only have two options for this.

1) Langer's EP 3.0 Advanced, which is a paid version with no support. It's quite questionable if you even receive your product after paying for it. He does allege to have a working import for attributes. Langer fell off the scene several years ago...

2) My BETA EP 4.0 available here:
https://github.com/chaddro/EasyPopulate-4.0

I have tested basic attribute importing and believe it is working correctly. However, this code has not been completed and made "user friendly" ... I do have some instructions on how to use it. Also, my EP4 can be installed along side your current version of EP. It does use CSV files, and you MUST use OpenOffice to export your CSV file for the import script to work. READ ALL NOTES CAREFULLY, AND BACKUP YOUR DATABASES BEFORE USE! That should always be the case, but people forget!

No support for EP4 is offered in this thread. You'll need to PM me for any questions. I'm hoping to get some time this fall to finalize this and get it out of beta, but paying jobs prevails.
