Category attributes are being partially displayed in the product cockpit

[Former Member]

I have created a set of category attributes and few user groups. Amongst the category attributes, few have a single value while others have list of values(enum) to choose from. Some groups have read-only access for category attributes while the others have write access. In the product cockpit when I view the attributes of a product,for users who have write access both single and drop-down listed category attribute's are being displayed. But for users who have read access the single-valued category atributes are displyed whereas drop-down listed (enum) are not being displayed. For eg. Color has a drop-down list of values. Product's value in hmc: Color: Blue

Product's value in product cockpit: Users who have write access Color: Blue

Users who have read access Color: -

Please can you help me resolve this problem?

Okay Richard. I'll try this and let you know.

Thanks Richard for your answer. Did you mean that it is not possible in hybris? Or is there some way to resolve it?

If you code your own custom editor yes you can resolve it, but it seems this is a little ui quirk of having read only enums.

You could try changing the cockpit editor for that attribute to another kind. See the file named something on lines of *editors*spring*xml in productcockpit/resources for perhaps some other options.
