Bitmvr Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 (edited) Hello, I currently have a client where we have existing products in their inventory that we initially imported without any images. I now have a placeholder image I want to apply to all images until the product images are provided. I'm having an issue bulk updating these products. Here are the steps I've completed, in order. I've uploaded the placeholder image Manually applied placeholder image to one of the products. I've exported the inventory to a CSV. I've updated each inventory line with the same product image URL. I've imported the newest inventory file that contains the image URL No errors occur during import and I am presented with information that all 31 products were updated. When I view the inventory page, none of the inventory with the exception of the ones I've done manually are updated with the placeholder image. I've re-exported the data and verified the URLs are not present for the inventory. Based on the Bulk Import via CSV documentation, this functionality should work. Is there any way to report this broken functionality directly to SquareSpace? Regards, Jesse Riddle Edited May 26, 2023 by Bitmvr Typo / Clearer call to action. Link to comment

Solution Bitmvr Posted May 31, 2023 Author Solution Share Posted May 31, 2023 Wanted to provide an update for others who may end up here. It is actually not possible to edit the image URLs in bulk once the products are created. Please see this section of the Editing Products in Bulk for the complete list of fields that cannot be edited in bulk via CSV marcus.gibbs, creedon and DV2 2 1 Link to comment
DV2 Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 I had this exact problem. I needed to add temporary images for products I had already uploaded. Rather than going through hundreds of items, I wrote this bit of CSS to insert a background image that would always be there, but covered up once an image was assigned. Change the image URL to whatever works for your site. figure.grid-image { background-image: url("/imageComingSoon.png"); background-size: contain; background-position: center; background-repeat: no-repeat; } Link to comment
