Duplicate Manufacturer Values (drop down attribute)

[ghost]

Seems lately Magmi (v0.7.18) creates a duplicate entry in eav_attribute_option_value when the manufacturer name already exists. (manufacturer is drop down attribute)

csv file only has 2 columns (sku, manufacturer) - manufacturer is manufacturer name (ie Apple) - tried manufacturer_value but no update occurred... if 'Apple' is already in eav_attribute_option_value, it creates an additional entry with same value and a new option_id (store_id is zero in both instances) .. Magmi Optimizer v1.0.5 is the only plugin selected when importing.

Seems like it's not checking the option value before inserting a new record ???

Thanks!!

It does, but be careful with whitespaces & case. whitespaces can be handled with "value trimmer for select/multiselect" plugin.

Hi, we have the same problem that attributes at the Layered Navigation are listing with and without a whitespace at the beginning. The plugin "value trimmer for select/multiselect is active.
