Hi @TOC-MR ,
Yes, if you’d like to include some formatting like bold text you can do so but you would need to upload the description in HTML. For example:
This is product is **Brand New**
Best,

Topic summary
A user seeks alternatives to Shopify’s basic bulk editor for updating product titles, descriptions, and metafields via spreadsheet without overwriting supplier data imported through an API/app.
Recommended Solutions:
- Shopify CSV Import: Can update existing products by including only the columns you want to change (Handle + Title + desired fields for product-level edits; Handle + Title + Option Values for variant-level edits)
- Ablestar Bulk Product Editor App: Allows spreadsheet uploads without strict formatting requirements, offers undo functionality, and can bulk edit products with live preview
Key Issues Resolved:
- Initial upload error related to primary market (NL Market) price list configuration - now fixed
- Price updates require selecting “Price” under Variant Fields (default price) rather than “Netherlands - Price” (market-specific price), even when Netherlands is the primary market
- Formatting Question: To preserve bold text in descriptions during upload, HTML markup is required (e.g.,
<strong>Brand New</strong>)
The conversation remains ongoing as the user tests formatting solutions.
