As I use scraped csv to import & update Woo products. Sometimes, I do some changes with webscrape software, so the number of columns will change.

I see that ImportWP use numeric column numbers to find column to import & update. If there is changes in numeric column numbers, user will change number {#} to import the correct column.

How about extra feature, use name of fields (name of header column), so it won’t be affected by the number of columns in CSV files ?

Such as:

Title – Norton antivirus

Price – $10

So I input {Title} instead of {1} to update the Title column. So ImportWP will find correct column even there is changes in CSV files.

Thanks for your response.

Content Egg's Feed module (Free version) use Field mapping (name of field) to update correct column.

You can take a look at it to see if there is any useful info.
