Magento 2.x Feature Requests and Improvements

We'd like a way to update product categorisation via an import without deleting the product Currently the 'add/update' behavior does not unassign a category for a product. The only way to do this is by using 'replace' which effectively deletes the product - this creates a new ID and is not fit for purpose. ... View more

  Please add support to Google Product Reviews for is_spam YES or NO Defaults to NO   Google and other aggregators no longer like to have none consequetive review data, meaning review uploads should look like 1,2,3,4,5 and not 1,2,4,5 (3 missing) where review 3 was a SPAM item.  See is_spam fields in the specification https://developers.google.com/product-review-feeds/sample/   This way we can export all reviews 1,2,3,4,5 where 3 is marked as is_spam = true   https://imgur.com/a/Gx7s1E4   ...

Edit a product, and when you go to select categories you will notice they may not be in the same order as the category structure. This can cause confusion for clients with a large amount of categories. ... View more

I would like to make a feature request.   When in the product catalogue, it would be nice to return to previous viewpoint after save.  With a 15 minute timeout, and the need to continually be saving, it would save a lot of scrolling after each save.  It would also just feel better in general, considering all the A-B work with front & back end.  I hope to see this implemented in the near future, thanks! ...

request: Basic Support for Stock Take [Stock freeze]   Rationale We all do it. Every month, every quarter or every year. Count the stock: stock take. Magento does not support the basic business process. It should.   The problem  When you execute a stock take, this takes time. During this time orders enter the system. THere is nothing wrong with that. But you want to freeze the stock decrement until done. This can be easily achieved by a Magento quick win. Especially after the 2.3 version because stock and stock reserve are separated.   Example Here we are with our nice little Magento store. It is 7 AM. No orders for today. So we pick all our orders and the stock in Magento versus the Warehouse = equal (suppose ;). The team then starts counting the products qty's and order picking is paused. During this time orders enter the system and decrement stock. When you are done counting you import all the stock (or in batches). The order picking starts again and this is where it goes wrong. All the sold products during the stock take have never been decremented fromt he stock Qty   Solution Add a pause stock button on store level (in case you do stock take for complete warehouse in 1 go). And add a pause stock update button on product level. If the pause option is activated then stock is no longer decremented. After the stock take we undo the pause and stock is decremented from the Qty. This time the Warehouse <= IN SYNC => Magento             ... View more

Request: Set Product Attribute "Apply To" not based on Product Type but ... rather visibility (or new attribute) ... or attribute set related   We sell for example T-shirts and ties. For T-shirts 1 configurable product exist. With several simple products. For Ties only simple products exist (onesize)   Product meta data is stored on the parent product. For T-shirts the configurable product. For ties the simple product.    Now if we make an attribute required like COLOR for simple products it also applies to the child products of the t-shirt: and this is where it goes wrong   Every time we edit the qty of barcode of a simple product we are enforced to select a color for the simple product. And this is very wrong: meta data is stored on the parent configurable level   To me this has always been a design flaw that can be improved   Request: create attributes "Apply To" based on something else than Product Type. Rather I can imagine a product is set up as a Salable Parent (meaning: presented on the frontend). So if this flag is set then attribute checks and other apply. It would also simplify many rules and coupon setup.                              ... View more

Product Images that are supplied by international brands often have a expiry date. This is becoming a bigger and biiger problem because brand crawlers or law-agents crawl the web to find these images that have expired, often resulting in fines.   In fashion there are several kind of images plain product, pack shot (and zooms/angles) image on dummy/ghost image on a model   The images on a model often are valid for a period X. After this date the image should be removed.    Request: add a date field to magento product images to set as an start_from and end_date so we can schedule product images.     (ps why is there no label/tag on this boad for legal or risk) ...

Problem: Store managers enter products in admin and accidently hit or copy in a space before or after the SKU.   When doing mass updating or importing the SKUs do not match and may cause duplicate problems.   Solution:   Trim whitespace on SKU upon saving and importing.   Same solution would be viable for product names. ...

I have a B2B Magento 2 site within the EU   Currently Magento only has the options to show the prices: Including Tax Excluding Tax Including Excluding Tax If you have a B2B shop the cusomers have to pay the VAT if they are located in the same country as the shop, and pay 0% VAT if the customer is located outside the country of the shop.   So the price excluding VAT is much more important than the price including VAT.    Google Shopping requires to show the prices prices including VAT.   Please add the Excluding Including Tax option to the price options. The prices Excluding TAX should be shown more prominent than the prices Including tax. ... View more

Where can we get a complete list of Magento 2.1 Community reported bugs?  Having just installed M2 Community, every time we run into an issue we are told by our developers "that is a Magento bug".  We would like to know what is a legitimate bug, if Magento is working on it, when it might be fixed or if we need to fix it ourselves.   We love the product but are often frustrated when we cannot get straight answers.  Please advise. ...

Magento 2.2.1 with 3 store view / languages In product ID 192, the product has a color option with 20 color value, and I have translated it for 3 different store view / languages In default store view: In French store view: In product ID 191, the product has the same custom options like in product 192. I click on import options in Customizable Options in default store view, and import it from product ID 192, then save. And then, I changed to French store view, the value should be in French as I translated in product ID 192, but all be covered by default value. And I tried to import it in French store view, but the value also be covered by default value.   So, for multi language site, import custom option should import with different store view, that will be much easier to add products. ...

We are using "Match products by rule" in Categories and whenever we add any new products it is not assigned to categories in which we are using "Match products by rule". When we manually go and save categories then it assigns products. But in M1 EE products are assigned to category by smart merchandising cron, but in M2 we haven't find any cron timing tab to schedule such cron. So please help to include this feature, as we have many categories and to save category one by one is very time consuming. Thanks. ... View more

I have an configurable product for example T-Shirts in size small, medium and large. And all have same price and we have tier price like: Buy 10 for 5.50 and save 10% Buy 20 for 5.00 and save 20%   Now a customer buys 5 medium T-Shirts and 10 large. So he has total 15 articles of this T-Shirt. Default Magento is now only take tier price of 10 large T-Shirts, but not for 5 medium T-Shirts.   It would be really nice to have option for product to set "use total amount of child products for tier price".   martin ...

This is more of a demand than a suggestion, because it's total madness that this is not standard. How has this simple thing, that is so important, been overlooked by Magento?   I'm creating a multivendor marketplace using Magento2 for fashion retailers.    In the world of fashion (and many other retail avenues) have all kinds of odd names for their colours, to make them sound more exciting for buyers.    However in Magento2, when creating a configurable product using attributes, when choosing colours you can only see the colour name, not the swatch of the colour. Why the hell would Magento leave such a simple thing out?!   How on earth are vendors supposed to know the variant shades between the colour names, if they cannot see the colours?!     Just look at that! ...It's pathetic.   I'm not sure this should even be a suggestion, if the Magento team see this post, you should just get this sorted because it's total madness.   I've sunk a lot of money into building this with Magento2 so far, but to have this simple thing have such a detrimental effect at this stage ...Just shame on Magento for having overlooked this.   I've seen posts for this dating back to 2016, it's now November 2017. GET IT DONE. ... View more

When working with products regarding store context, there is inconsistency among Quote, Order and Invoice and Shipment items regarding the getProduct() method.   The best implementation as of 2.1.7 is Magento\Quote\Model\Quote\Item\AbstractItem.php, where it supplies store id in the context of the quotation.   I suggest that the model of Order and Invoice should follow such practise when getting product from underlying items, since developer expects a certain level of API consistency.   I can make PRs if everyone agrees. ...

Problem is when thirdparty system wanted to update product's inventory then they require to send API call to update each products. So it calls cache flush method everytime that uses too much memory if thirdparty wanted to update 100o skus.   So I would suggest if have API call to update stock inventory which accepts skus in batch then it saves CPU memory. ...
