Introduction

The standard Adobe Commerce 3.0 merchant plugin (the v1.4.0 Magento extension) is an open-source plugin that you can modify. In some configurations, the plugin prevents you from saving multi-select attributes. If you experience this restriction, you may also receive a getCustomAttribute() call on your products. 

The Adobe Commerce 3.0 plugin has a built-in product guard that restricts products from being repeatedly updated. This product guard may prevent you from saving multi-select attributes on Adobe. As a workaround measure, you can modify the plugin's source code to enable saving multi-select attributes on Adobe. 

Setup

After the Adobe Commerce plugin is installed: 

1. Open thechannelengine/magento2 repository.
2. Locate and open the Observer/ProductObserver.php file.
3. In ObserverInterface, locate the function public function execute(Observer $observer).

4. Comment out the return statement: 

    if ($this->productHelper->wasUpdatedRecently($product)) {
                   return;
               }



5. Multi-select attributes can be saved now, and the plugin will not block the update anymore.
