To update only certain metafields like meta title, meta description, and warranty without affecting other data, you can follow these steps:

1. Export the Necessary Data:

Use DataEase to export your products, including the metafields you want to update. Make sure to include the ID or Handle column to identify the products and the specific metafield columns you want to update, such as Metafield: title_tag, Metafield: description_tag, and Metafield: warranty.

2. Edit the Exported File:

  • Open the exported file in a spreadsheet editor.

  • Update the values in the metafield columns you want to change.

  • Ensure you do not add or modify any other columns that are not necessary for your update.

3. Prepare the Import File:

  • Keep only the columns necessary for your update: ID or Handle and the metafield columns you are updating.

  • Do not include any other columns to avoid overwriting data you don't intend to change.

4. Import the Updated File:

  • In the DataEase app, go to the "Import" section and upload your updated file.

  • The app will analyze the data. Ensure it shows the correct entity (Products) and that the item count is correct.

  • Click the "Import" button to start the import process.
