Admin Center Part Data Import Issue

[Austex-AaronCraig]

• I checked and didn't find a similar issue

Describe the bug*

I Cannot find a way to bulk import part data into Inventree, using the new or old UI. Stuck on the processing data screen and selecting an individual item or selecting multiple items then importing does nothing.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to New UI
2. Go to Admin Center -> Data Import
3. Begin part data import
4. Match fields.

Expected behaviour

I suppose it should import the data.

Deployment Method

If you select the rows (via the checkboxes on the left) does the "import rows" button become active on the top left, above the table?

[Austex-AaronCraig]

When I do, it does go green however you can click that button and nothing really happens, no imports or anything, import stays at 0/998

[Austex-AaronCraig]

Also using the part import in the classic admin center throws this error, tried UTF-8 and ANSI encoding to see if its to do with that and cannot get it to work.

I have the same issue

[SchrodingersGat]

@Austex-AaronCraig @15ah35 we are not actively working on the "import_export" tool any longer - instead we are focusing on the new user interface which has a muhc more streamlined import process.

As such, if you want to provide a fix for the errors as listed above I'll merge it in, but I do not have any time to look into it

[15ah35]

This error is occurring in the new user interface…

[SchrodingersGat]

@15ah35 I meant for the "class admin" error that @Austex-AaronCraig reported above.

Can either of you provide a sample data file that you are seeing errors with?

Additionally, a screen recording / video of the issue would be helpful too here so I can see the sequence of events. Or even a series of screenshots.

[Austex-AaronCraig]

@SchrodingersGat Sorry for the late reply, I was on holiday.

The issue was with the part number, found out that you can only have a number in the part number column, no letters or any other characters in the part number column. Once I changed the part number column to only have numbers the new interface mass import worked a charm.

I would want to have a prompt to check and tell the user that you can't have characters in your part numbers with inventree, or update the database to support more than numerical characters in it.

This specific issue can be closed now as I can mass import parts with the new interface but would like to see a warning if users try to add a part number with characters instead of no prompt at all going forward.

[SchrodingersGat]

Not sure what you mean by part numbers not having non numerical characters - can you please provide a sample file that I can test with?
