Hi everyone
 
I want to import marketing text to 2800 items. What is the best way to do this since config.packages does not work?

    if your marketing text is relatively straightforward (e.g., single block of text per item, not requiring complex line breaks or multiple extended text codes).
       * How to do it:
         * Go to the Extended Text Header page (search for it).
         * Use the "Open in Excel" or "Edit in Excel" action.
         * In the Excel add-in pane, you'll need to add the Extended Text Line table. You might also need to filter or select the correct Table Name (which would be "Item").
         * You'll typically need to populate fields like:
           * Table Name (e.g., Item)
           * No. (Item No.)
           * Language Code (e.g., "" for blank/default, or EN-US, etc.)
           * No. Of Lines (This can be tricky; often it's the number of physical lines you will have in the text)
           * Description (This is the primary field for the text on the header)
           * Extended Text Code (If you use different codes for different types of marketing text)
           * On the Extended Text Line table, you'll enter the actual Text content and the Line No..
         * Once your Excel sheet is ready with all 2800 items and their corresponding text, use the "Publish" button in the Excel add-in.

    Hi, If you mean the value below, this cannot be edited via Configuration Package or Edit in Excel. Sorry I haven't tested it in detail, but it looks like only customization can do it.
     
    Hope this can give you some hints.
    Thanks.
