WooCommerce csv import custom fields - adjust built-in importer to include custom fields?

Well, it seems that I was a bit too quick posting this question, as I've just figured out an answer - but hopefully this can save some people a lot of time and money (would have saved me a lot of time, if I only found this answer elsewhere).

I Accidentally bumped into the "Column Header Reference" (although apparently I should have been there from beginning) of the Woocommerce document section, and here I actually found that this is completely do-able, just by adjusting the Header Reference in the csv file with a prefix of meta: followed by the id of your custom field.

Requirement for this solution
The only requirement for this solution is that you have Woocommerce version >3.1 installed and activated, and to use the built-in csv importer of the plugin. This can be found in the admin panel under "tools --> import --> Woocommerce products (csv)"

Example:
if you have a custom field for each product that, for example, contains the brand of each product and has an ID of brand, you can import values for each of these custom fields by naming the Header Reference in the csv file the following: meta:brand.

As an other example, if the id of the custom field was _product_brand, values for this custom field can be imported by naming the Header Reference (the 1st row in a csv file in excel, for example) the following: meta:_product_brand

The solution is to prefix the custom field id with meta: inside the csv file in the heading.

Note: in case that it doesn't happen automatically during the second step of the import, make sure to select the option "import as meta" in the column "map to field" for the column you wish to import to your custom field.

Create new custom field
If you just upload csv with meta heading reference with a field id that doesnt exist, this will create a new custom field with the name given in the csv file.
