You can look at the field "Primary group name" - if it has a value, it is set.

Thanks for your quick response Nicolai, but "Primary group name" isn't a field option in DW9.10.17 nor in DW9.12.3 ?

Br. Michael Knudsen

Yes, 9.12.0+ only. I can see we made it for you guys!

Sorry Nicolai, but "Primary Group Name" is not available in DW9.12.3! 

Wasn't that the one you added for me? :-)

Well, now I just want to throw my name in, just to make this more fun :-P

It is for all of you! It was made i May. It is part of ProductIndexBuilder and Extender in Dynamicweb.Ecommerce dll

Or I have looked the wrong place in git, which is also an option!

It would be nice with a clarification, of the "Primary Group Name" should be available or not.

Working on a DW9.12.9 solution, which have the "Primary Group Name" available in shared queries, but it still dosn't return the expected result. When PIM products are published to the "Espresso shop" without a primary group, they should be shown in the dashboard, but it dosn't work.

What's wrong with my query expression?

Hi,

If products were created (added or poblished to various groups) or primary group is changed in general way via UI (Ecom/PIM) then index 'Primary Group Name' field always has name of a group except for translated products where the field is not defined. You can check this using the expression with e.g. 'Contains' condition for the field.

Hello Oleg,

- I'm not sure I understand this correctly:
>> index 'Primary Group Name' field always has name of a group except for translated products where the field is not defined.

So if the products are translated, then will the 'Primary Group Name' not be available/not defined? Sounds very strange, why a product translation should affect the 'Primary Group Name'.

Br. Michael Knudsen

I have done some further research, and I have seen serveral translated products with a group name in 'Primary Group Name', but I have also seen translated products without any primary group, where the 'Primary Group Name' has a value!

I'll send my results to DW support.
