You want to use the bulk importer.

[Screen Shot 2020-11-06 at 2.42.12 AM] whenever i tried the bulk import it stops there. Since the traceback stops at category ids i tried changing the -1 to 0 @last_imported_category_id = imported_category_ids.max || -1 to @last_imported_category_id = imported_category_ids.max || 0 I even tri…
