A basic file will address things that relate to the file type, like basic attributes addresses the existence of an attribute in the database and that the attribute has a relationship with the product (by model number of course), while a detailed attribute assigns data associated with the attribute and all of it's details to the specific product (by model name of course). The basic attribute file is used to give the selection of a file or whatever value(s) that are assigned. The actual file data would be handled in the detailed attributes (this data is also in a different database table than the data associated with the basic attributes.

And let me describe another way. ZC is made up of data associated with other "previous" data. That's why the operator must first enter a product, then enter attributes associated with that product, then identify specific detail about how that attribute affects the product. Each building on the next.

I started the above earlier, but hadn't sent it. Now it appears applicable.

First you need to do a basic attribute upload for your product, (which you did thinking that all of the new data was incorporated to find that not so.), then download a detailed attribute file, mod what you want modded (ie, add the filename, number of downloads, etc.), and upload the resulting file. There's no need to remove columns and in some cases removal of a column will prevent it from working.

The txt file you uploaded reflects that: it was looking for data specifically needed to make the upload work as seen by the blank between = and AND.
Okay...So I added a zip file to a product in the store, downloaded the detailed csv file, added a couple of more products with the same format that was on the spreadsheet, saved it, uploaded it into the Easy Populate and clicked the Import link and got this for an errors:

Located at the top of the page:
File Import Completed with issues.

Located at the bottom of the page:
SKIPPED! - Attribute Entry on Model: 2 - Not Found!
SKIPPED! - Attribute Entry on Model: 3 - Not Found!

It's telling me there were 2 errors detected but generated no TXT file with them...

I do appreciate your thorough explanation of how this works and I understand what you are saying. I appreciate it because if I can get this figured out this will be a very useful tool moving forward for future installs. :)
