What's new
Conflated attributes of type datetime as filters
You can now use conflated attributes of type datetime as filters in Merchandising Studio, just like int, float, and text attributes. Rather than having to configure a filter using an attribute of type datetime for each locale, you can now use a single conflated one.
Enhanced error logging for variant selection
In the Visual Merchandising Interface in the Merchandising Studio, the system now logs a clear error message when the configured attribute for variant selection is not of type List, helping identify configuration issues more efficiently.
