We have a strange situation. A global product attribute that is populated at the default config level is empty on store view level. The attribute scope is ofcourse set to global. See the image below to demonstrate.
Now I must admit that we needed to tweak the database eav_attribute: because we had defined these attributes as text when they should be dropdown.
The problem arises on the frontend where these attributes default to NO,NO NO as their values. And another interesting fact is that this only happens to configurable products that have been with us for some years. The lower SKU's ....
Store set-up
-- Main config
|---- Store view 1 (current)
|---- Store view 2 (new)
For example: Main config has a (global) setting with value A. Store view 2 shows this value A. But Store view 1 shows value "empty".
Question: anyone encountered this before?
Can it be that a value already existed on a store view level? [but manually changing and saving it on the store view level does nothing. They stay empty]
On default config level
On store view level
