Dynamic option creation

Missing product option values get created automatically, but only for the admin store

It is strongly recommended that, by default, the value for custom-configuration-dir is <magento-install-directory>/app/etc/configuration
As soon as a default configuration is copied, changed, extended, or modified and stored under the path specified in custom-configuration-dir, only this configuration takes effect and always overwrites the original configuration
The configuration handling is mainly based on the PHP framework Symfony, and therefore unexpected effects maid occur in different configuration constellations
- Consequently, it is always recommended to test modified configurations concerning unwanted side effects

If it is desired to disable the dynamic option creation, override the default add-update (see techdivision/import-product library ), by adding the following example override snippet <custom-configuration-dir>/shortcuts.json and remove the eav_attribute related operations.

Override Snippet:

<custom-configuration-dir>/shortcuts.json

{
  "shortcuts": {
    "ce": {
      "catalog_product": {
        "add-update": [
          ...
          "general/eav_attribute/convert",
          "general/eav_attribute/add-update.options",
          "general/eav_attribute/add-update.option-values",
          "general/eav_attribute/add-update.swatch-values",
          ...
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Result configuration:

The overriding result should look like this:

{
  "shortcuts": {
    "ce": {
      "catalog_product": {
        "add-update": [
          "general/general/global-data",
          "general/general/move-files",
          "general/catalog_product/collect-data",
          "general/catalog_category/convert",
          "ce/catalog_category/sort",
          "ce/catalog_category/add-update",
          "ce/catalog_category/add-update.path",
          "ce/catalog_category/add-update.url-rewrite",
          "general/catalog_category/children-count",
          "general/catalog_product/validate",
          "ce/catalog_product/add-update",
          "ce/catalog_product/add-update.variants",
          "ce/catalog_product/add-update.bundles",
          "ce/catalog_product/add-update.links",
          "ce/catalog_product/add-update.grouped",
          "ce/catalog_product/add-update.media",
          "general/catalog_product/add-update.msi",
          "general/catalog_product/add-update.url-rewrites"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

It is not possible to create translations for stores other than the admin store.

If option values get created dynamically, the values from the additional_attributes column must always be correspond to the values of the admin store.

Translations can be done in the Magento backend or with the attribute import.
