As of 2024 Square allows for a single reporting category, but you can add an item to as many other categories as you would like. However, when exporting my item catalog I cannot figure out how to export these alternate categories. There's a column which shows the reporting category, but that's all. Am I missing something? Is there some way to be able to export, and then import the alternate categories for an item? Seems odd that a catalog export doesn't include all of the info about an item, doesn't it?

Hey @RobGuiher. Since this whole new multiple category thing is very new, I’ll agree that it seems odd but that it’s probably just an oversight. This very recent feature went through a beta test but I guess that subject didn’t come up and you are the first to bring it up here that I know of. I double-checked a few things and confirmed that I don’t see a way to export/import these either. So all I can recommend is that you head over to the Ideate Board and submit a feature request to the Reporting Team. They will review it and let you know if they are going to add it to a future roadmap for Square Reports.

This didn't get solved. I'm having the same issues. Can this be addressed again? Kinda ridiculous that we can have multiple categories but I can't bulk update them? I have over 500 items I'm trying to categorize one for reporting/one for website and now cannot.
