Hello! I am using the Paper theme and my store is https://hydraulicpartsonline.com. I have noticed now that a large chunk of the parts I imported via .csv are now displaying as dates in the store and when I export them to .csv to identify them in bulk. Do I need to manually fix all of them via import? Or is there any way to do this more efficiently? It’s my first time and new here so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi,

Hope this will work

  • Re-import with Proper Format
  • Option 2: Use a Bulk Editor App (If You’re Not Comfortable With CSVs)
