Shopify CSV: option value without an option name

What's happening: The import rejects a variant because Option1 Value is filled but Option1 Name is empty.

How to fix it

1. Put the option names (Size, Color...) on the product's first row only.
2. Every variant row then fills the matching Option1/2/3 Value.
3. Options fill in order: never Option2 without Option1.
