No, it should be there... If you can see it on the ecomproducts table, it should be available.

You can try to reset the service caches: https://doc.dynamicweb.com/documentation-9/platform/platform-tools/cache

Are you 9 or 10?

Hi Nicolai. I had to recycle the app-pool in the end. That did the trick.

As i mentioned in the post, i had reset all service caches, and that didnt help.

Before I recycled the pool, the new field would appear briefly in the "Visible Fields" selector, on the left. But when I clicked the arrow to move it into the visible list, it disappeared again, and on page reload didnt appear on the left again.

I feel there is very aggresive caching in DynamicWeb 9 (dunno if its the same in 10), but it makes it very hard to know if you've made a mistake with something or not, and you waste a lot of time triple checking stuff.

But anyway. Now the field is there, and I have a bunch of products which have "ProductCategory: Engine", and "Manufacturer: Scania"

I have set the auto-assign properties on a folder called Scania in the PIM (Under a parent folder, Engines).

These I Have set to Field Manufacturer, Value: Scania, and Field ProductCategory: Engine

I created an auto assign rule for "Group rules", and chose the PIM as the shop, and set it to active

I then created a scheduled task to run that rule.

Nothing happens. No products are attached to that folder.

Hei Viktor. I actually thought about that for a second, and then thought "nahhh it couldnt possibly be that limited"... so I guess I will now try it.

Thanks Viktor, that immediately fixed the issue!

There's surely nothing dodgy about changing the ID's in the db to the manufacturer name though, I assume? To make it more readable, and quicker to administrate in pim. There will never be a situation in this PIM where two different manufacturers will have the same name (even if they are different manufacturers), so I have no need for an independent unique key per manufacturer

As long as the ID is unique - and also be careful about names. Having IDs like "#stphn's cod*rs" could become an issue because IDs are used in JS, urls and other places where some of these characters can become a problem.

True enough

Maybe someone should update the documentation https://doc.dynamicweb.com/documentation-9/pim/other/auto-assign-products-to-groups  so it says that the key is used in case of List types?
