No Description Field in CSV Export

We are attempting to setup the new Square Meta integration and we have 1250+ items that "need attention" and it appears they require a description. I tried exporting the list to bulk edit and the CSV doesn't include a description column.

 

Is there a way to bulk-edit descriptions?

 

Thank you in advance!

Hey there, @fordhamr, thanks for reaching out to us with your query!

Just so we're on the same page with you here, are you adding descriptions to items that haven't previously had descriptions?

If so, you'll need to add at least one description for an existing item directly to your Item Library prior to exporting your items. This will ensure data populates in the description column in your spreadsheet, and you will have an example of the description format which you can replicate in this column for your other items.

It's a good idea to reference our import troubleshooting guide, particularly the tip to remove any commas from the text you’ve added to the file (you can add them back to your item names, descriptions, option sets or modifiers once they’ve been imported to your library).

Give this a try and let us know how you go on your end!
