Dynamic category creation

Up from version 3.8.0, missing categories in the product CSV file will be created by default, but only for the admin store.

To disable this, override the default add-update shortcut (defined in the configuration snipped of the techdivision/import-product library), by adding a snippet, e.g. <custom-configuration-dir>/shortcuts.json and remove the catalog_category related operations.

{
  "shortcuts": {
    "ce": {
      "catalog_product": {
        "add-update": [
          ...
          "general/catalog_category/convert",
          "ce/catalog_category/sort",
          "ce/catalog_category/add-update",
          "ce/catalog_category/add-update.path",
          "ce/catalog_category/add-update.url-rewrite",
          "general/catalog_category/children-count",
          ...
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

a file outcome should that looks like you can see below

{
  "shortcuts": {
    "ce": {
      "catalog_product": {
        "add-update": [
          "general/general/global-data",
          "general/general/move-files",
          "general/catalog_product/collect-data",
          "general/eav_attribute/convert",
          "general/eav_attribute/add-update.options",
          "general/eav_attribute/add-update.option-values",
          "general/eav_attribute/add-update.swatch-values",
          "general/catalog_product/validate",
          "ce/catalog_product/add-update",
          "ce/catalog_product/add-update.variants",
          "ce/catalog_product/add-update.bundles",
          "ce/catalog_product/add-update.links",
          "ce/catalog_product/add-update.grouped",
          "ce/catalog_product/add-update.media",
          "general/catalog_product/add-update.msi",
          "general/catalog_product/add-update.url-rewrites"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Please be aware that it is not possible to create categories for the other stores other than the admin store itself.

When creating categories dynamically, and the names are taken from the column categories, always must be the admin store’s values.

Translations can be done in the Magento backend or with the category import .
