    Hi,
    I’m trying to import products with meta fields containing some array structure. My value in CSV file is:
    a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:25:"ph_booking_resources_name";s:0:"";s:25:"ph_booking_resources_cost";s:0:"";s:32:"ph_booking_resources_auto_assign";s:2:"no";s:31:"ph_booking_resources_per_person";s:2:"no";s:29:"ph_booking_resources_per_slot";s:2:"no";}}

    but when I take a look into database I can see something like this (prefixed s:239: and quoted):
    s:239:"a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:25:"ph_booking_resources_name";s:0:"";s:25:"ph_booking_resources_cost";s:0:"";s:32:"ph_booking_resources_auto_assign";s:2:"no";s:31:"ph_booking_resources_per_person";s:2:"no";s:29:"ph_booking_resources_per_slot";s:2:"no";}}"

    If I manually in database make the value looking like in CSV file every thing is working correctly.

    How can I force import process to insert such value as it is provided without any changes?

    Correct value in export XML looks like this:

    <wp:postmeta>
<wp:meta_key><![CDATA[_phive_booking_resources_pricing_rules]]></wp:meta_key>
<wp:meta_value><![CDATA[a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:25:"ph_booking_resources_name";s:0:"";s:25:"ph_booking_resources_cost";s:0:"";s:32:"ph_booking_resources_auto_assign";s:2:"no";s:31:"ph_booking_resources_per_person";s:2:"no";s:29:"ph_booking_resources_per_slot";s:2:"no";}}]]></wp:meta_value>
</wp:postmeta>

    Thanks,
    Krzysztof

    Solution is:

    <?php
/*
Plugin Name: Divide Meta Fields with Comma (Really Simple CSV Importer add-on)
*/

add_filter('really_simple_csv_importer_save_meta', function($meta, $post, $is_update) {
    
    // serialize metadata
    $str_array = "";
    if (isset($meta['_phive_booking_availability_rules'])) $str_array = $meta['_phive_booking_availability_rules'];
    $meta_array = unserialize($str_array);
    $meta['_phive_booking_availability_rules'] = $meta_array;
    
    return $meta;
    
}, 10, 3);
