-----------------------------------
Hi Hans,
As I mentioned in my previous comment, I don't believe that ProductTypeAttr was
intended as being the only way to manage ProductAttribute records, if it were
then foreign keys would enforce the relationship and not allow for arbitrary
attrNames.
I'm not sure what you mean by maintaining SalesChannel and ProductTypeAttr
records in webtools, do you mean that the user should just manually enter the
records using the entity data maintenance tools? If so I don't think that is
an ideal solution for either entity.
IMO the best solution would be to add a screen to the catalog app for
maintaining ProductTypeAttr records and then also add another form to the
Product -> Attributes screen so that the user has a choice of either creating a
record based on a predefined ProductTypeAttr or to create a new arbitrary
ProductAttribute record.
I have no desire to implement these features and was merely trying to resolve
some bugs in my spare time. My preference would be revert the current change
simply because it removed functionality that was previously available to users.
It has obviously had a negative effect or otherwise this issue would never
have been created.

>
> The 'Add Product Attribute' has a drop down list for attribute name. if the
> product does not already have a existing product, its not possible to add a
> new attribute, since the attribute field is a required field but which is
> blank. This problem does not exist in R9.04 where it was not a dropdown but a
> simple text field .
