Hi Theodor.

Not sure I fully understand your question.

When you have that checkbox set for a field, you have to edit the value for each language if it should have a value - also when indexed. No inheritance will exist. Do you mean that you cannot edit the value for the field on a given language?

If you remove the checkbox, you can only edit the value on the master and it will be copied to language versions.

Hi Nicolai,

Sorry, I'll rephrase the issue.

The issue is, the solution im working on, has a webapi, that recieves an update for products.
When populating the productcategory fields for translated products, if the value of the field is the same as the master product, it doesnt create a row in the database.
This causes the field to not be populated in the productindex.
The method for setting the field is the SetCategoryValue, on the product entity.

This issue is also true for fields with the checkbox not checked and read only checked.

If any additional information is needed, I'll try and provide it.
Best regards
Theodor

Hi,

Could you please specify what exactly you trying to achive and why you want the values be duplicated on langauge, when the value actually follow inheritance rules, so when you ask for a category value for that field and product langauge version it will give you a correct one. Because I don't think it is a bug, but the way it works and if you need a different behaviour I probably may look up for a workaround, if you tell what exactly you want to achive.

BR, VIktor.

Hi Viktor.

The issue is, that when the product index builder creates the document for the lucene index, it doesnt populate the field in the index, with the inherited value from the category field value.
With this behavior, the facets for the specific language is missing the values to facet by.

Hope this clarifies.
Theodor.
