OpenMage
Uploading products via csv default import to multiple websites
Description (*)
Currently import to store supports 1 storename in the websites field. As I understand it - if you need more than 1 website - you can either upload the same data a second time and change the website field (feels silly) or in Magento assign the products via mass update manually.
As I expect some merchants have run into this before I imagina a a solution is out there
Expected behavior (*)
Upload websites in the website column semi colon separated and assign to multiple websites in 1 go
Benefits
Less problems, faster, logical
Additional information
Another idea would to also have some kind of script that checks if the child products from parents (configurables) have the same websites setup, and if not the same then update on the fly. I cannot think of cases where one would assign the parent to website A and B, and only assign the child to either one of the 2 or none or other websites. Some idea here: https://magento.stackexchange.com/questions/318739/magento-1-loop-over-stores-find-all-salable-products-then-find-children-and and here https://gist.github.com/mauricioprado00/2b730532689d28dcdb2b

I think you might have misunderstood how the import tool works and how to use it properly. That is not how the import/export tool was designed to work.
See Chapter 54 (Managing Data Transfer) in the Magento Community Edition User Guide.

See Importing Products with the ImportExport Interface by Andreas von Studnitz
Magento 1.5 (CE) and above uses the master/slave import model.
Unless I have misunderstood the feature request, I do not support this suggestion as it would heavily modify the way that hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of users use it on a daily basis.
Rather, I would support an initiative to write an extension to add this functionality without modifying existing functionality.
