Feature request: Show taxonomy in Product Export

Are you referring to with WooCommerce? since you mention products.

Feels like something they should already be covering, to be honest unless they only export their own taxonomies and ignore any that are not registered by themselves.

Hi Michael,

Yes, I am using WooCommerce and am referring to a Product Export.

I just did a new export, and the custom taxonomy is not there.

There are other “custom meta” categories (you can tick a box for this when you create the export), which come from other plugins, so it should be possible.

There is, in fact, a meta column named “Meta: _primary_term_leadtime”. Considering that my custom taxonomy is called leadtime, perhaps this is the corresponding column? However, only very few products seem to have a value for this key, and these make no sense (e.g. the value is “445”, whereas an actual lead time on the product page and back end would look like “2-4 weeks”). Also, pretty much every product has a lead time.

The idea is, of course, to be able to update lead times more efficiently than via Bulk Edit on the admin product page.

Does this help? Do you need more info?

Kind regards,
Edmund

Still something that should be handled by WooCommerce more than anything.

The _primary_term_leadtime meta sounds more like it’s just using a custom field to specify the “primary term” for SEO purposes

Is it this type of screen you’re using for the exporting?

Primarily the 2nd half of the long page? Based on screenshots alone, this is only handling information that WooCommerce registers itself.

A bit long, but I wonder if this code and discussion would be relevant as well: https://gist.github.com/helgatheviking/114c8df50cabb7119b3c895b1d854533

CPTUI definitely doesn’t have any code in it like what the GitHub gist has, as we largely focus on just getting post types and taxonomies registered with the provided arguments, at the right times.
