My CSV file works fine with Magmi for most things, except one: Adding a comma separated list of skus in the "simple_skus" column of a configurable product won't insert rows into either of the tables catalog_product_super_link and catalog_product_relation. I have another script which relies on rows in these both tables, which now does not work on such imported products.
Using the option "auto match simples skus before configurable" would insert rows here, but using the simple_skus column does not. I cannot use matchable skus because I must follow another pattern for skus.
Shouldn't Magmi insert rows in both of these tables?
Got it: The CSV file needs to have empty configurable_attributes values for the simple products. So, my working CSV file looks like this:
sku,name,type,websites,store,attribute_set,tax_class_id,status,visibility,qty,price,cost,url_key,use_config_manage_stock,manage_stock,is_in_stock,description,short_description,meta_keyword,image,simples_skus,size,configurable_attributes
