Custom Field Populator: How to Manage Custom Fields for Specific Items Using a CSV

You can manage custom fields in bulk by using a CSV file. This is useful if you want to manage custom fields on specific products.

Adding Custom Fields to Items via CSV

To assign custom fields to items in bulk via a CSV file, from the Dashboard click on Upload Custom Fields:

Once clicked, if you have more than one Custom Field Group, you'll be asked to select which of the Custom Field Groups you'd like to download:

If you do not have any Custom Field Groups set up, you will simply receive a "Save As" dialogue box to save the template.

• Product Identifier - this can be either the BigCommerce Product ID or the product SKU. Please note that variant SKUs are not supported.
• Custom Field - this is the custom field you want to be added to the item(s). If you have more than one custom field you want to add, simply put it into another column. Please make sure the value entered is a valid value for the custom field.

Step 3: Once your CSV file is ready, click on Upload New File:

Locate your CSV file and click Upload and Process.

The file will upload and the custom fields will begin to be added to the items in your BigCommerce store. If errors were detected during the import, you can select Download Errors to download a file that will have more details so you can correct the errors and try again.

Deleting Custom Fields from Items via CSV

To delete custom fields from items in bulk via a CSV file, from the Dashboard click on Upload Custom Fields:

Once clicked, if you have more than one Custom Field Group, you'll be asked to select which of the Custom Field Groups you'd like to download:

If you do not have any Custom Field Groups set up, you will simply receive a "Save As" dialogue box to save the template.

• Product Identifier - this can be either the BigCommerce Product ID or the product SKU. Please note that variant SKUs are not supported.
• Custom Field - this is the custom field you want to delete from the item(s). If you have more than one custom field you want to delete, simply put it into another column.

To delete a custom field from the item, simply enter [delete] as the value in the column for the custom field.

It's important to note that deleting a custom field this way, does NOT delete the custom field from your store. It simply removes it from the item.
