Product, Product Groups and Product Catalog item types issues

Hello, I am working on a DW version 9.12.11 and I want to create an item type that has a product group field so that I can get all the product group ID's from the selected group and use in the headless frontend.

Right now it does not matter if I select Product, Product Groups or Product Catalog, they are all limited to selecting individual products. If I have a folder selected and click save and close, nothing happens.

We would really like to have this working since we are using these item types to render front end components that query the DWAPI for data, and right now we need to have a text input with group IDs and the client has to go back and forth between the page being created and the ecommerce page to find group IDs.

Regards.

Hi,

I would try to use another approach instead, at least until DW comes up with an official solution.

You can use a RadioButton field and use SQL to return all EcomGroups that can be selected.

Additionally, you can use the RadioButton field with a template and handle in the template some logic for rendering a more intuitive way o presenting or selecting the Ecom Groups (for example use Navigation instead of SQL and maybe add some search functionality to that template.

It requires additional work, but at least it can help you move on.

Hi Unnstein.

That looks like a bug. I have asked QA to look into the issue and see if it can be reproduced - and then we will provide a fix asap.

Hello,

I was not able to reproduce the issue on my test environment based on last DW9.13.4, here is video regarding my check with all the types of item field. I have the expected results regardless options (like 'render in frontend' as well as 'show on paragraph') provided or do not in the definitions, browser (Google Chrome or Edge) cache was deleted before checking surely.

Thanks so much, all I needed was to change the view type, maybe it is better to have the default view type as group when the item type is product catalog groups ?

Hello,

it depends on the situation, what do you want to get, please refer to manual describes the field types. As you can see in my video above, select of appropriate ecom items works as expected per options set.
