I have tried to find documentation regarding meta data plus 2 in regards to EPiServer commerce, but have found practically none, one single page at http://sdk.episerver.com/commerce/1.1.2/default.htm. But that page does suggest that inheritance is possible.
My issue is this, i need a heirarchy of products so i get a BaseProduct that "inherits" from CatalogEntry and other products then derive from BaseProduct. The BaseProduct has around 60 MetaFields and the derived products adds additional metafields.
Example:
BaseProduct inherits from CatalogNode
-Field1
-Field2
DerivedProductOne inherits from BaseProduct
-Field3
DerivedProductTwo inherits from BaseProduct
-Field4
-Field5
In my world the DerivedProductOne metaclass should now have 3 fields, Field1, Field2 and Field3 and DerivedProductTwo should have 4 fields, Field1, Field2, Field4 and Field5.
I have created the MetaClasses like this (simplified) in code:
When i go into commerce manager i would expect to be able to create a new product variation based on the DerivedProductOne and DerivedProductTwo, but i cannot, the only thing i see in the metaclass dropdown is ProductBase. Bug?
When loading metaclasses through MetaClass.Load(..) for DerivedProductOne and DerivedProductTwo i only see 1 MetaField for DerivedProductOne and 2 MetaFields for DerivedProductTwo where i would exped DerivedProductOne to have 3 MetaFields and DerivedProductTwo to have 4 MetaFields, the Parent for both MetaClasses is ProductBase. Bug?
