Import CSV product information for same name product fails

This article provides a patch for the known Adobe Commerce 2.2.3 issue related to getting errors when trying to import a .csv file with products information if there are products with the same name.

Issue

When a .csv file with products information is imported, and there are products with the same name, you get the following error on the Check Data step: "URL Key XYZ was already generated for an item with the SKU %sku%". The issue is caused by rewriting the products’ URLs during import, even when there’s no column for products’ URLs in the imported .csv file.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create two configurable products with the same name in the Commerce Admin.
2. Create a .csv file to import data for those products, which has for example these columns: sku | product_type | name | product_websites | store_view_code
3. Go to System > Data Transfer > Import and select the .csv file.
4. Click Check Data.

Expected result:

No issues found; you can import the .csv file successfully.

Actual result:

The following error message is displayed: “URL Key XYZ was already generated for an item with the SKU %sku%”, it is not possible to import the file.
