I have spent the last 48 hours working on how to upload Item templates and their variants. I have not been able to do this successfully.
The Templates and the variants upload quite well, but nothing shows under the variant attribute table. What I have is shown below
For the Template
You can see that the Attribute table is not visible
The variant section is not visible at all for the Item variant. This is despite the fact that the system acknowledges that this is a valid variant of the template as shown below
When I create the template and variant from the GUI everything works fine, the challenge is using the Import Data utility.
See below a sample of my import excel sheet
What could I be doing wrong? I am currently on Version 11. I have created the necessary Item Attributes and the values before hand
Will really appreciate any help.

Any error/trace logs?
On import, I found my most common source of error was a malformed import file that did not comply to field specs (eg. missing reqd field, or incorrect field format). Not to say that this is happening in your case - just something to look at 
I am sure it is one of what you said, but I cannot figure it out. And their is no error log for it.
I am stumped at this stage
In the case of imports, it’s mostly trial and error. The other possible problem is the format of your file. In some cases, I found the Excel formatted files didn’t work, but LibreOffice files did work. There are no noticeable differences in the file, but it sometimes works, and sometimes doesn’t.
Might be worth trying it though
Am not even getting an error, the import is succesful, but the variants and templates do not behave as they should as stated above.
I still need help
@Pawan do you have an insight ? I assume in am doing something wrong.
I have seen what my challenge is
The template needs to have the field ¨Variant based on¨ filled with ¨Item Attribute¨
But if i do this the upload utility then throws me an error saying
¨Attribute table is mandatory¨
I have tried all I can, but am unable to get past this.
Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you @Not_a_countant
Find below a link to an upload sheet with just one template and one variant
https://drive.google.com/file/d/141JaiSnGzRKh5iAg7KezHQjz-9BlSF6P/view?usp=sharing
The template is supposed to have an attribute called color
The variant is supposed to have an attribute value called Black
Let me know what your experience with this is
Regards
