Reset product data to use default values about product-import

[patrick-bigbridge]

Hello!

Thanks for using the library and for asking the question!

What you are doing looks fine and should work. I just created a test scenario that does what I think you are doing, and it succeeded. Simple "scalar" attributes can be removed from the database by setting them to null. So if you want to keep the values at the global level and remove the values from store view "default" you need to do

$global = $product->global();
$global->setName($this->_productData['name']);

$default = $product->storeView('default');
$default->setName(null);

$importer->importSimpleProduct($product);
$importer->flush();

If this still doesn't work, tell me what exactly does not work: do you get an error ($product->getErrors()) or is the attribute just not removed from the table catalog_product_entity_varchar (with store_id from default)? And if possible show me all relevant code you use to import products.

Good luck!

My bad...
Setting attributes to null removes them from the database! 👍
