  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • If you load
    'CatalogEntryAttributeDictionaryAttributeRelationship' with the
    property 'supportMultipleValuesForADAttributes' equal to
    false, the output is not correct and items might be deleted.
    
    When supportMultipleValuesForADAttributes is set to false,
    assigning a new attribute value (assigned value) will delete
    other existing attribute values even if this value is used by
    other catalog entries.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • USERS AFFECTED:
    WebSphere Commerce Version 8.
    
    PROBLEM ABSTRACT:
    When 'supportMultipleValuesForADAttributes' property is to
    false, the behavior is not as expected.
    
    BUSINESS IMPACT:
    Attribute values are erroneously deleted.
    
    RECOMMENDATION:
    

Problem conclusion

  • Added logic to check whether the assigned value is used by other
     catalog entries. If the result is true, only the relationship
    between the catalog entry and the assigned value is deleted. The
     attribute value is not deleted.
