Importing products in CSV - URL Key already in use.
I am coming across an issue which i cant seem to figure away around it.
When you import products into Magento2 via CSV/FTP, Magento creates a unique URL Key for each product which is generated from the products name. However some of my products have the same identical name and so when i try to upload it gives me the 'URL Key is already taken'.
To be honest i thought Magento2 would have simply re-named any duplicate products automatically when imported, but it does not seem to do it....
My question is, is there anyway that i can fix this or get around it?
Important! - Please note that i cannot change the product names and i cannot simply add my own unique 'url keys' into the CSV file when uploading as the files are locked for a reason, So i need to use a different method.
Thank you for your question about importing products into Magento. You will need to edit the CSV file by some means to import successfully. If it is locked, and you cannot edit it, then it will keep generating the error you are seeing. A CSV is a basic text file, so you may be able to copy the contents to an unlocked file, edit the problematic URLs, and then try to import again.
Best,
