MAGENTO 2.3.5 /V1/products overwrite default values on multi-store site even when only one field is sent to update

[lano-vargas]

Preconditions (*)

1. V:2.3.5, 2.4-develop
2. Product API (catalogProductRepositoryV1)

Steps to reproduce (*)

1. Configure all store view to run under one domain E.G: dev.test.
2. Set one more Environment apart from default website/store/store view.
3. E.G: IE
   
4. Create product on all store view using postman or any other tool:
   URL: rest/all/V1/products
   BODY

{
  "product": {
    "sku": "test-1",
    "name": "Test 1",
    "attribute_set_id": 4,
    "price": 10,
    "status": 1,
    "visibility": 4,
    "type_id": "simple",
    "weight": 100
  },
  "saveOptions": true
}

5. Update product name for IE store view:
   URL: rest/en-ie/V1/products
   BODY:

{
  "product": {
    "sku": "test-1",
    "name": "Test 1 changed",
  },
  "saveOptions": true
}

Expected result (*)

1. When API for en-ie is sent I expect only product name changed/updated for that store view

Actual result (*)

1. Instead all values previously sent for all store view have the checkbox unchecked and populated with the all store view data therefore this values cannot be updated using the all store views again

Thanks

Nice thanks :)

@hostep After trying the patch (https://github.com/magento/magento2/search?q=MC-39481&type=commits) to 2 magento instances. One 2.4.2 and one 2.3.5-p2 it creates a different problem.

The problem that @lano-vargas said was fixed but a new issue arised.

Let's say you have 1 website and 2 store views again.

You create a product via API and then you try to update the product via API -> PUT @ domain/rest/{{store_code}}/V1/products/{{sku}} and change your locale values like the name. It works great so far.

but then if you try to make another call to the same store view but change only ONE custom attribute, it then ticks off the use default again for all the attributes that were unchecked by the explicit api call that came before this one.

So if you changed the name to be specific to the locale, it gets lost and uses the default value once again.

ex.

{ "product": { "custom_attributes": [ { "attribute_code": "my_attribute", "value": "test_value" } ] } }

[hostep]

@neddy236: that sounds pretty bad.

Could you please open a new issue for this case? It will get picked up much faster that way.

[neddy236]

@hostep done. #33052

Imagine updating 20k products in one day in spanish store view for example. Then the next day change a boolean attribute on this products.

You just lost all your spanish product names :)

[leonhelmus]

This feature now seems to delete my url rewrites :(. If default store has visibility 4 and you try to update a store without adding visibility in the request like this:
[{
"product": {
"sku": "example_sku",
"status": 1,
"attribute_set_id": 11111
}
}]
it will delete your url_rewrites.... If you use the url: https://example.nl/rest/example_nl/async/bulk/V1/products. Because it adds a null value to visibility :(

Issue is fixed by this commit -> 306f515
