Hi all, I'm getting this error then I am using csv import.
```Uniqueness error - there is already an item with that name or name/parent combination.```
I am updating external id of a non inventory item for sale which is a subitem of a &lt;parent item&gt;
I am using Internal ID, and updating external id.

write a small search on the item record with the external id you are trying to update and see if there any item record with same external id

if not remove item name from your import and give a try since end goal is to update external id..thanks
