Remove Custom fields in item specifics in all listings via File Exchange or any other way

[reclother]

Hello.

Is there any way how can I remove my custom item specifics in bulk?

I am using a file exchange a lot, but I was not able to find a way on how to remove (delete) item specif field.

In my listings I have several custom item specifics and I no longer need them all so I am looking for a way on how to remove them in bulk.

Hope some File Exchange expert will be able to help me here.

Any help would be appreciated.

There is no way to add or remove a single item specific through File Exchange. The C: fields are considered a group, so when one is modified (added or deleted), the entire group must be resubmitted. 

From page 77 of the manual:

C:<item specific name>

Important: If you revise this field, you must include all of the custom item specific fields for this
listing in the uploaded file, even if the information has not changed. Otherwise; any excluded
custom item specific will be removed from the listing.

I would recommend downloading a spreadsheet of your Item Specifics using this online tool:

You can then delete the columns in your spreadsheet and upload the revision through Seller Hub > Reports > Uploads (File Exchange).

Keep in mind that if your category has any new "required" fields, those would need to be addressed in the same upload. Your Seller Hub Active listings page should have a quick filter that will sort any listings that are missing Item Specifics.
