Problems with price scope and config.php

[t-heuser]

Preconditions (*)

1. Magento 2.4.2
2. Atleast 2 store views
3. 1 product which is assigned to atleast 2 store views
4. Price scope is set to global

Steps to reproduce (*)

1. Set price scope to website in app/etc/config.php

• Initial:

'price' => [
     'scope' => null,
],

• New:

'price' => [
     'scope' => 1,
],

2. Execute bin/magento app:config:import
3. Clean magento cache bin/magento cache:clean

Expected result (*)

1. When I now save different product prices for each website it should save the values for each website

Actual result (*)

1. The price only gets saved for the Default website

Solution

The underlying problem is that in the table catalog_eav_attribute the value for is_global is '1' (= global scope) for the price attribute if you set the price scope to website via the config.php. This leads to \Magento\Catalog\Model\Product\Attribute\Backend\Price::Magento\Catalog\Model\Product\Attribute\Backend::afterSave() not saving the price for each store as it thinks price is a global attribute.

When changing the price scope to website via adminhtml (as seen in the DevDocs the column is_global in the table catalog_eav_attribute is set to '2' (=website scope) for the price attribute and everything works as supposed.

So the solution would be to set the is_global column in the table catalog_eav_attribute to '2' or '1' for the price attribute when changing the price scope via the config.php file.

Please provide Severity assessment for the Issue as Reporter. This information will help during Confirmation and Issue triage processes.

• Severity: S0 - Affects critical data or functionality and leaves users without workaround.
• Severity: S1 - Affects critical data or functionality and forces users to employ a workaround.
• Severity: S2 - Affects non-critical data or functionality and forces users to employ a workaround.
• Severity: S3 - Affects non-critical data or functionality and does not force users to employ a workaround.
• Severity: S4 - Affects aesthetics, professional look and feel, “quality” or “usability”.

The Severity is S1 as now I have to goto every database we have and set the value is_global in the table catalog_eav_attribute to '2' for the price attribute, which is something I definitly don't want to do in production environments. I cannot set the price scope via adminhtml as it's blocked as the config value is present in the config.php. So there is a workaround for this but it's wonky as hell.

I can confirm that this issue also exists on a vanilla magento instance.

just curiously have you import correct price scope ? Would be great if you can share file config.php in description
['system']['default']['catalog']['price']['scope']

[t-heuser]

@mrtuvn What exactly do you mean? Yes, the value I've changed has the path ['system']['default']['catalog']['price']['scope']. Before the value was null and now it's 1. 1 is also the value which the option in the select for the configuration of the price scope has.

Verified the issue on Magento2.4-develop branch and the issue is reproducible:

Steps to reproduce:

1. Magento Setup 2 Store views (Ref Guide)
2. Create/Edit a product and assign to both the Stores (Admin - Catalog - Products) and save
3. Set the price scope to 'Global' (Admin - Stores - Configuration - Catalog - Catalog - Price - Price Scope - Global) and Save
4. Set the price scope to "Website" in your Magento root/app/etc/config.php

'system' => [
        'default' => [
                'catalog' => [
                        'price' =>[
                             'scope' => 1
                         ]
                 ]
         ]
],

5. Execute bin/magento app:config:import
6. Clean magento cache bin/magento cache:clean
7. Admin - Verify Price scope is changed to Website - Price scope is changed to Website.
8. Navigate to Admin - Catalog - Products - Edit the same product - Change the scope to new Store view - Change the Price and Save
   Issue: User is able to save the product but price is not getting changed. Default Price is displayed.
   User is able to save different price only when scope is set to "All Store Views"
   For Scope "Default Store View" and "New Store View" - New Price saved is not getting updated.
