Importing products with features. A BUG?

[szym]

Hi,

Since 1.4 theres a new feature or a bug

Importing products with features makes new feature value every time even when such feature vale was added before.

For example

Product 1 has Material: Cotton

Product 2 has also Material: Cotton

Now I have two rows with value Cotton in my feature_value_lang table.

Lightly speaking it's very unfortunate. Don't you think?

Why the hell did you guys did that?

I import hundreds of products every month so you can see my pain with this.

 

For those who have the same problem changing this line

$featureValue->custom = 1;

to this

$featureValue->custom = 0;

in FeatureValue.php should do the trick (haven't tested this yet though).

 

Anyone agrees with me that this is a bug not a feature?

Or maybe I'm not aware of some other changes that justify this?

Feature value + product name = unique product, so it lets you to independently modify each product. It's also possible that this is faster.
