The only way to do it was to export existing products data, manipulate it in excel by matching new filters to products and not all filters applied to all products so there was a mix and match... So I had to create direct import files to db. Very slow and time consuming task. The tables relationship is straight forward but getting the data formatted to fit the tables structure was a pain....
