attribute_code*		Column header represents existing Attribute Code. Value should be valid according to given attribute type. Example: product_description

In the example, some values are collections(multiselect_attribute, gallery, etc) separated by semicolons.

If your column separator is semicolon as well the CSV file should contain those values escaped(surrounded) with " sign to tell the importer that the value represents a single column i.e. "option_code_1,option_code_2".

In order to import attribute values the attributes need to be enabled in Category attributes. This can be done either by Ergonode UI or via import file category_attributes.csv.

Example:

_code	_name	_language	text_short_description	textarea_description	numeric_size	price	unit_weight	date	select_brand	multiselect_attribute	image	gallery	file_appendix	product_relation_attribute
