PIM Field display groups showing in frontend but not in the PIM backend

Hi there,

I have a situation for a customer where a specific field display group must be shown in the frontend (as property in a PIM feed). For this, the 'Show in frontend' checkbox is enabled in the definition of the field display group. This works as intended. But, as well as the frontend feed, the display group must also be available as a visible field in the PIM backend when editing products in the shop. While 'Show in frontend' is enabled, the display group is not shown in the backend.

Is there a specific reason for why a display group can't be visible in both? Is this a permission thing, or can this be considered as a bug?

As far as I know, this is not a permission issue because whenever the 'Show in frontend' checkbox is disabled, the field display group is shown in the backend but not the frontend.

For what it is worth, the customer is running Swift DW 9.14.9.

Kind regards

PS: See attachment image for visualisation that Purchase Book is show in the feed config but not as Visible Field in PIM product editing. This is when 'Show in frontend' is checked, the situation is reserved when the checkbox is unchecked. The desired result is visibility in both situations.

Hello Barend,

- maybe you should check, which 'shops' you have selected for the field display group, even I have seen a number of unexpected behaviors in older versions (< DW9.14.x).

Exampel below, would I expect the field display group to be available in all selected 'shops' + frontend:

Hi Michael!

Thanks for the reply!

I checked the configuration and the shop is selected and Use in Frontend is checked, but that did not solve it.

I suspect it to be a version problem since I have an DW installation running on 9.15.8 and under the PIM/General configuration there is a checkbox 'Show frontend field display groups in product edit' which solves it. I reckon this is a 9.15 addition, since the option is not there on older installations.

Kind regards
