Support for content type snippets about kontent-google-sheets-add-on HOT 5 CLOSED

Hello @timfenton! I just updated the add-on to v13 to support snippets. They should be generated the same as any other element I don't think there should be any issues with naming 😏

You might need to re-install the add-on to test it. Let me know if it works for you!

thanks @kentico-ericd ! So fast...

How would you expect an sheet to be formatted to import content + snippet? here is an example of how our sheets are currently formatted:

name | contentcard__headline | contentcard__description
My Product | My Product Headline | My Product Description

My hope was it would recognize that contentcard__headline is a content-type snippet field, not a field directly on the content-type, but it doesnt seem to import the data. Should i format the data differently? or, do i need to create the product feature content item first and then get the GUID for a contentcard item and send the data for that separately using the new snippet endpoint?

Thanks again!

Are you using the Generate option in the add-on, or manually specifying the headers?

The format for snippet headers should just be the code name of the snippet element. For example, I tested using the Metadata snippet in the sample project. The code name of one of the elements is metadata__meta_title

That's the same as what the add-on generates, and importing this row worked for me:

I was not using the generate, but I was using the codenames as the headers.

actually, the issue was that i did not have en-US as a localization in the project, instead it was just "default" so it just created a content item without translation so i think this caused an issue when trying to save the content snippets. as soon as i created an en-US localization and specified it the issue went away and gave me a new issue where the the rich text was not encapsulated in some Kontent-supported tag, which I was able to workaround 👍

you the best @kentico-ericd

Hmmm... maybe it needs better messaging/error handling for the language issue 🙄 Thanks for testing it out though, enjoy Timmy boy!
