Magento 2.0.7 Import Products sets default behaviour as append, need add_update

I am importing the products using array instead of csv, And using FireGento_FastSimpleImport2 Module to pass the product array to the import model. I have set the behavior of import to be 'add_append', but getBehavior() method in the Magento/ImportExport/Model/Import/Entity/AbstractEntity class checks the condition and sets behavior as 'append'. I need to know why the product import does not allow add_update behavior? i believe that the append is responsible for multiple stock item entries in the table cataloginventory_stock_item for same item, which generates error in the catalog product grid.

Hi @Taral-Patoliya

Looks like an error to me.
Created internal ticket MAGETWO-58210 to investigate and fix.
Thank you for reporting.

Also into Magento 2.1.7 and Magento 2.2

Looks like an issue into the method \Magento\ImportExport\Model\Import\Entity\AbstractEntity::getBehavior which doesn't allow other behavior as append, replace and delete. Using custom or add_update is not allowed and fallback to append which is the default behavior

Need a PR ?
