Dynamic option creation

Up from version 3.8.0, missing product option values for the admin store will be created by default.

To disable this, override the default add-update shortcut (defined in the configuration snipped of the techdivision/import-product library), by adding a snippet, e.g. <custom-configuration-dir>/shortcuts.json and remove the eav_attribute related operations.

{
  "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",
          ...
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

a file outcome should that looks like you can see below

{
  "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"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Please be aware that it is not possible to create translations for the other stores other than the admin store itself.

When creating option values dynamically, the option values are taken from the column additional_attributes always have to be the admin store’s values.

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