use dataport to add suggested items
When I upload a new batch of products to my store using the dataport I want to automatically add suggested items with the initial upload so I do not have to go back and add them one item at a time...how can I do this?
Re: use dataport to add suggested items
For the items you want to import all you need is to specify 0 as their product id value. Application will import all items with id value 0.

How would I indicate that what I am uploading is a suggested item to a product that already exists, preferably when I upload the initial product as well.
Re: use dataport to add suggested items
I think from "suggested items" you means "Similar Products" or "Product Accessories"?
You will not be able to specify these using CSV import/export feature. However you can use xml import/export for the purpose.
If you have uploaded all your products (including the initial products and the related products) then export the products xml data and re-import the xml after updating the desired data.

Re: use dataport to add suggested items
You cannot add suggested items at the time you upload your products because the pointer to the suggested item is required and the suggested item may yet to be created. As Naveed suggests, After uploading all of your products. write a routine to create an XML file to relate your products. You can get the format of the XML file by reading dataport utility docs. then upload the xml file in update mode.
