Multi-Valued Objects in Generic XML

There are two Generic XML options for exporting fields that allow multiple values.

  • Repeated Target exports a delimited list of the values in a single tag
  • MultiTarget exports each value individually, in separate tags

MultiTarget is usually the preferred option.

The Country of Origin multi valued attribute is exported for each of these selected products:
