"Name" should not be required when action is "update"

[timlight10]

If I have a pricing file that contains short descriptions of my products, its SKU, and its current price, I should not have to select a name for the field during a CSV import. I can understand that during a create action, a name is required. However, couldn't the import process skip those or throw a warning for a missing name instead?

Hello,

The import supports both creating new products and updating existing products from the same file. Therefore, the CSV structure requires a Name column.

However, couldn't the import process skip those or throw a warning for a missing name instead? If I supply update in the action column, it could skip the name field entirely.

Yes, I completely understand the point. If the product already exists, the name shouldn't necessarily be required for an update. Being able to simply skip it or show a warning would make the import process much more practical.
