hi,

Did you try using the "" (empty quotes) in place of "test" where you wish to put your blank field.

Hello,

"Database ID","Description","Name" := This is Problem you need to write actual field name what you defined in the class not the string of this field.

I hope this will help you.

Thanks.

Hi !

I think I have understand why it's not possible of erase the field "description" :

because, when I make a import with a under description, I change only the translation in French, thus the description in English remains the same !

But I don't now how to avoid it...

Hi !

also with version 5.0.6, my GTK is in French.

I export a product with excel with field : Database ID / name / description (import compatible)

the product is :

Databes ID : 44
Name : varistor 275V
Description : test

In Excel I change "test" in "test 2" and I save in .csv utf-8

I import this file in OpenERP and I refresh the product, and with the flag next the field description, I see :

"test 2" in English
"test" in French...

But I want the same (test 2) in French and in English ! And I think when I type in a blank Field in "description" in excel, I have Blank in English and always "test" in French...

(It's ok with my English ? i write badly sorry... Do you speak french ? ;o)

Can you help with this problem?
