I've been uploading items with csv files and noticed that the end of my item descriptions is getting cut off in the upload process...
I save the excel file I create using vendio template, and all the item description is there (I actually spend time revising descriptions before uploading) and when I go to edit it in vendio, I have to figure out what my last few words in the description were.
When I go back to look at the excel file, that even has item descriptions cut short. (I'm pretty sure I saved....if I hadn't, more would be missing)
I'm wondering if this is something I'm doing wrong, or if it's a glitch. I apologize if it's me, since I'm an imperfect person prone to error...also, I'm learning the newest excel (haven't used it in a few years). But I did upload one batch successfully, but the last batch was messed up.
I'll try again and get back to you (although that might take a while). Otherwise, if you've heard of this issue, please let me know how I can correct it at your earliest. Thanks!!!
If upon opening your Excel file locally on your own hard drive is also showing this field cut off, there likely wouldn't be a different result upon importing of course - but perhaps something in the selecting of the file and trying to upload is somehow corrupting it.
The first thing I would do to test this further is to make a copy of your file prior to uploading next time, and verify how the copied file appears both before and after uploading to see if anything in the upload process is triggering the corrupting - or to see if something in the creating/saving process is causing it prior to any upload attempt.
