Enhancements

  • Improved performance of Bulk Edit on the Product List page so the edit panel loads and saves more quickly when editing multiple products at once. See Product list page for information about bulk edit.
  • Added a notification retention policy that automatically deletes notifications older than 30 days. PIM also stops polling for notifications during a session when a user has none, reducing unnecessary requests.
  • Improved security.

Bug fixes

  • Fixed the issue where data entered in the Unselected value field disappeared after the first input when creating a variant type.
  • Fixed the issue where the asset search in the Assign image drawer returned no results after scrolling to the bottom of the list, even when matching assets existed.
  • Fixed the issue where attributes did not retain their order after being repositioned with drag-and-drop.
  • Fixed the issue where PIM displayed a blank screen after a long idle session, forcing the user to refresh the page to continue.
  • Fixed the issue where the PIM-to-B2B Commerce publish job threw a TaskCanceledException while syncing dynamic categories. The job had previously run for hours before being cancelled.
