My client is an auction house. They typically have 100 lots available. We want to have a view that shows all sold and unsold lots. The sold lots will have a variety of information, which we are currently able to display using Toolset Views.

We are trying to do something like this with the output of sold and unsold lots using Toolset:
hidden link

Is there a way to automatically import content and assign values for certain fields using .csv?

In the screenshot it shows the fields we are wishing to do this with.
Field: Date - would be 1 value for all imported posts
Field: Auction Type - would be 1 value for all imported posts
Field: Lot # - would be automatically assigned as a number between 1 and 100

I am trying to build a solution that will be easy to use. They hold auctions quarterly and will need to perform this import 4 times per year which would become very tedious if we had to do it manually for 100 lots 4 times per year.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Have you look at the Doc and tutorial we offer to import CSV content.
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/how-to-import-content-into-wordpress-using-csv/

But it has some limitations as well, as you cant able to import the repeating field using CSV import. Please check the section: "Field Types That Are Not Supported" with the above link.

Also, have you tried any other pro plugin like WP ALL Import, that may help you.

If you have any further queries, please dont hesitate to get in touch with me.
