Version 2.0.0. (follow on from issue #2564)
Step 1: I import a new configurable product with 2 variant simple products. All three products are imported fine and the Configurations section in the Admin Panel for the configurable product is displaying two variant products.
Step 2: I then realise that I've assigned the incorrect simple products to the configurable parent. It's an easy mistake to make then filling in a .csv import file. So in the Admin Panel Configurations section I use the Action "Remove Product" for both simple products. But when I remove the last one and save the "Add Products Manually" disappears. So I can no longer select the two simple products (that exist) I wanted. I don't want to have to generate more variants via the wizard.
Step 3: I go back to my original import csv file and put in the correct details for the configurable product row in the "configurable_variations" column. I try importing just that one row. It doesn't work! Oops. It was working a few minutes back when the configurable product was created. So why is this? I then notice that the product type for the configurable says it's now a "Simple" product. Oh dear. So when I removed the incorrect variant products in step 2 after the last was gone Magento decided that this was no longer a configurable product and switched it back to a Simple. Oops. This should not happen.
It must try to remember that the product is configurable and also remember the attributes being used for the configurations e.g. color, size.
Thank you.
