How import category tree if categories exist in several fields in file?

If your file has product categories and subcategories in multiple fields and you need to match each of them - we have a quick way to do that. We will join many fields containing category names into one field and import it as "Category - path separated by a separator". To do this, follow these steps:

1. Match all fields in the file containing categories and subcategories as a path separated by a separator:

2. Then, in the configuration of each of these fields, set the following options:

- In the "Append" enter the category separator, eg the / character.
- In the "Category path separator" enter the set character /
- Attention! in the last category in the file, do not add separator character in the "Append" field.

- Enable the option "Merge the same fields"

Now, the importer will combine fields containing the cat and sub cat names into one field, which we will import as "Category - path separated by a separator". The separator will be "/".

Category + "/" + Subcategory1 + "/' + Subcategory1 == Category /Subcategory1 /Subcategory1
