Frequently Asked Questions

The ""Invalid Attribute Code"" error occurs when the attribute code in your CSV file does not match the attribute code format allowed by Magento 2. Ensure that the attribute code follows the correct conventions, such as using only lowercase letters, numbers, and underscores, and avoiding spaces or special characters. Also, check if the attribute already exists in Magento or has been deleted, which might cause conflicts.

The ""Attribute already exists"" error happens when the attribute you are trying to import has already been created in Magento 2. To resolve this, either remove the existing attribute from your CSV file or change the action in the import settings from ""Add"" to ""Update."" Ensure that the attribute code is unique if you want to create a new attribute.

The ""Invalid Option Value"" error occurs when there is a mismatch between the option values in the CSV file and the values expected by Magento 2 for dropdown or multi-select attributes. Ensure that the option values in your CSV match the exact format used by Magento and that the associated attribute type (e.g., dropdown, multi-select) allows for the specified values.

Timeout issues often occur when importing a large number of product attributes or large CSV files. To resolve this, increase the PHP max_execution_time and memory_limit settings in your server’s php.ini file. Alternatively, break down your import files into smaller batches or use a third-party extension designed to handle large imports efficiently.

Attribute sets may not apply correctly if the attribute set name in the import file does not match exactly with the existing attribute sets in Magento 2. Verify that the attribute set name in your CSV file matches the name used in Magento. Additionally, ensure that all required attributes in the set are correctly mapped in your import file.
