Hi team,

 

I'm importing attributes and I came across the header 'FieldPresentationType' in table 'EcomProductCategoryField'.  When I look to the documentation it tells me it's one the values below, if not you can leave empty (source):

  FieldPresentationType
1 RadioButtonList
2 DropDownList
3 MultiSelectList
4 CheckBoxList

But when looking at the demo data and own tests, I can see it's never empty. It often has values like '4' when creating a text field. So I recon I'm missing something?

 

Examples of Date and text field that have FieldPresentationType 4:

Hi Davy,

In table EcomProductCategoryField you should distinguish between columns FieldType and FieldPresentationType

I grant you that it is not very transparent, but for fields that have OptionValues, the FieldType is 15, and the type of OptionField is defined by FieldPresentationType.

If a field is not an option field, it will still have a default value of 1 in FieldPresentationType (but is just ignored by API).

If a product has any selected options (like from three last rows in screenshot), they are to be found in table EcomProductCategoryFieldValue.

Hi Morten,

Thanks for your feedback. It alligns with the documentation, but not what I see in the application.

Since you confirmed it as well, I will just use 1. If I come across issues I'll report it here.
