magento2: REST API: Cannot delete custom attribute from product

But 2.2 isn’t released. And even when it is, the sheer magnitude of change involved means companies will be running 2.1 for a long time, until 2.2 is stable, bugfixed and all 3rd party extensions supported. This is insane.

Why is this closed? It’s not fixed in the current product codebase. It might be months or years before large sites migrate everything to (currently still in development ) 2.2.

@siliconalchemy , thank you for your report. The fix for this issue is already available on Magento 2.2.0 branch.

Confirmed this fix works when backported into 2.1.9. The path is different - vendor/magento/framework/Webapi/ServiceInputProcessor.php.

@orlangur Encouraging that process is improving. I still don’t understand why 2.1.x issues are fixed in dev and closed. If it’s a 2.1.x. issue and the fix isn’t breaking, why isn’t it applied to 2.1.x branch and released in the next point release?

@siliconalchemy this is already changed: no 2.1.x ticket closed with remark “fixed in develop” nowadays. Obviously there is no other way to apply all relevant fixes from develop to 2.1.x but discovering bugs and backporting fixes. Hope after 2.2 release bugfixes will be tracked better and delivered as 2.2.x in a timely manner.

Yet another bug fixed half a year ago that hasn’t made it into the stable tree. This project really needs to address the braindead policy of only ever making fixes into the dev branch until enough people complain about an issue. This is an enterprise product, companies commit to a branch for a long time for lots of good reasons. Fixing bugs in point releases is a good thing, people.

It’s passing this: {"attribute_code": "fridge_capacity", "value": null}

Here’s the complete json:
