Feature request from Taral-Patoliya, posted on GitHub Nov 03, 2016 I am working on a store where i need to import products on a daily basis and the number of products may go up to more then 1,90,000. The Store discount heavily depends on the customer groups which are around 8800 including the core ones in number. The Products are imported seamlessly, but when trying to reindex the Catalog Product Price index , it inserts 130 million records in catalog_product_index_price_final_idx table which takes huge time to complete. Also the customer groups does not have any alternative. because catalog price rules, and tier prices depend heavily on them. 130 million records are a very huge amount of data on a mysql installations. Note We have 15000 products as of now, but it is expected to increase to 1,90,000. so the number of records in catalog_product_index_price_final_idx table may got up to 1.65 billion records. Note: The infrastructure of the server is optimized for high performance, with SSD for storage and MySQL configured using percona db. ... View more

In Magento 2 checkout page when customer chooses country the page makes an ajax call and refreshes shipping-methods section. Unfortunately I have not found any tutorials how to duplicate what is happening. I suggest Magento 2 should make a tutorial how it is done so developers can duplicate that process. - add custom filters to shipping-methods or payment. I have asked about that in Magento.stackexchange.com but like normally the checkout page seems to be the most mysterious part of the Magento 2 (no replies).  ... View more

It would be a great help if there was an option to add a blank (non-existing) product to an admin created order.   Problem It takes some work to create an order for a new customer when the product is non existant in the catalog. Especially when you have that customer on the phone and want to get the order in quickly. After entering customer details you come to the conlusion you have to create a product first, losing all the customer details. Create the order again with the new product added, asking the customer for their details again.   Solution: Creating an order would work exactly as it does now but with an additional, single line form where you can add a (simple) product name, price and quantity.   If that blank product gets entered you can give the user the option to enter more product details in a pop-up (or slide-in) screen, or just leave it the product name and price only. This blank product gets added to the catalog with Visibility: "Not visible individually" so you can edit it later.   Most CRM/ERP products have this option when working on orders. ... View more

 My questions are how to add dropdown to the shipping method section and if specific method has been selected (the one that developers have been thought about) make address field required to be filled? I have added image about what i am asking to the post.   History: In magento 1.X the developers just edited the phtml file that displayed the shipping method (can be found, when searched) but in magento 2.x uses html files where php can't be used.    Example: some countries uses post-offices where customers can get their orders. So the shop owners need possibility to add dropdown of post offices to the website. Also when they can select to pick up in post office or shop then why they need to add their address making the address field dependable with selected shipping method.   I have tired to solve it myself but I do not like none of the solutions that i have came up with: adding the selection field with jQuery (somehow adding it to the order) below shipping method its content depends on shipping method that is selected (main disadvantages are that it might decrease the speed and user has to scroll down to add post office) or writing completely new shipping module that contains this possibility (Magento updates might have added dependency or changed the overwritten files that might brake the website or make module unresponsive - writing new module means writing over many default files rising risks and making the default shipping method useless (main functionality in this kind  cms)).   I have tried to ask help Magento Community Forums (programming section) and Magento Stack Exchange - no response! Both of these websites contains a lot of questions about checkout page that are without no replies including many almost duplicate questions about the problem i am facing . Are they without answer because developers lack such knowledge or something else that is unclear.   The main issue is, that I find those functionalities described elementary in such cms and can not understand why they are not added. Why developers have not thought about that user group - Magento is used all over the globe and so should be the features that can be added without changing too much the original code?    The modules (extendability) not included to Magento should be dealing with only special requirements like slider or adding blocks (that has been well documented) or third party connection (Facebook, POS... ) ... But not functionalities like those where there is atleast entire country in need such features! Difficulty adding such features (that most developers can not manage (posts i have found in web while researching [example1]))  is not allowing the shop owners to began using Magento 2.   ...

Hello,   We use to duplicate products to create new ones as we save time registering many data. But this process has also duplicated the images associated to the product. We need to hide the previous image and associate the new images.   Is there any way to remove the association of a image that it is hidden to the product? We have products with many images and it is not good for the maintenance.   Thanks, Javier ... View more

Adobe Commerce DateTime attribute type is not implemented for customer attributes.  They are date only. This causes an issue with being able to provide a customer with a full omnichannel experience of accurately viewing activity on how they interact with an organization outside of just their ecommerce purchases.  With Date only and not DateTime for customer attributes, the activity of the customers interaction last interaction/transaction outside of Adobe Commerce - for example presentation of the last purchase in a brick and mortar location will be presented twice to the customer when other updates have occurred to the customer profile in Adobe Commerce.  ...

For example, if we search for "fiter" it shows us results for "filter" in the response as expected but there's no messaging for "Did you mean?" or "showing results for filter"   Currently, there is nothing in the live search response indicating what it's showing results for when the customer mis-types or it is showing results due to a fuzzy match.  Because of this, we can't show that it Didn't find results for "fiter" but it's showing you results for "filter" instead. ...

Feature request from phoenix-bjoern, posted on GitHub Oct 06, 2016 As a developer you need to be able to retrieve categories by certain conditions e.g. to select categories by their parent ID or by their ID path. Currently this is only possible by using the categorie's resource model directly which is an unclean approach. The ProductRepositoryInterface provides a getList method which allows a developer to select products by using the SearchCriteriaInterface. For categories this should be possible in the same way. ...
