Bulk Upload Template with Variations & Error 21916587

[beastieboy1023]

Spent hours trying to find ways to take care of the 21916587 error. It is "Error - Missing name in the variation specifics or variation specifics set." Nothing I try will work. 

I have no idea how to stop this error from occurring. The link to the bulk upload template is below. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? This would be a HUGE help for me and save so much time, but this template just will not play nice.

You don't upload Templates, you upload Drafts.  Those are two different things.

From what you say about the message, it is telling you what is missing.  Did you go back and review the details of each variation to make sure all the fields are correct?

It's a cvs file, right? Open it in Excel (or whatever you use for editing spreadsheets) and check to make sure that there are no hidden columns. This is just a guess, but unhide everything, and make sure that there aren't any blank columns that you need to fill in.

Hello @beastieboy1023,

Do not enter anything in the Relationship column on the parent row. In Relationship details on the parent row you would enter each of the variations, separated by a semicolon. Below the parent row, would go each of the variation rows. If you include pictures on the variation rows, precede the picture URL(s) with the name of the variation.

Here is a simple example (using Color as the variation attribute):

Relationship	Relationship details	Item photo URL
	Color=Red;Blue;Green	https://test.com/test1.jpg
Variation	Size=Red	Red=https://test.com/test2.jpg
Variation	Size=Blue	Blue=https://test.com/test3.jpg
Variation	Size=Green	Green=https://test.com/test4.jpg
