[Issue] set image rolls only if is_required is true

[in-session]

Preconditions and environment

Especially when managing many product images with different functions, it often happens that the wrong image roles are used when creating products. Here the field is_required should be used to control which roles are necessary by default. An image role does not mean that it has to be filled, as long as it is not an is_required.

Magento version 2.4.6-p5

Steps to reproduce

1. create a new product attributes media/images
2. then create a new article and upload the image

Expected result

all roles are assigned to the first picture

Actual result

only necessary roles should be assigned to the first image

Hi @in-session,

Thanks for your reporting and collaboration.

We have checked the issue in Latest 2.4-develop instance we are not able to see the Values Required option for the Media image attribute type.

As per the Magento dedocs https://docs.magento.com/user-guide/v2.3/stores/attributes-input-types.html when we create media image type attribute it becomes an additional image type, along with Base, Small, and Thumbnail.

Could you please let us know if we are missing anything.

Thanks.

That's not quite what I mean, even if I can exclude it from the product gallery. Is the newly created role always automatically assigned to the first image:

Wrong:

So the field is_required yes/no should be used to determine whether the image role should be assigned automatically.
Or a new field in which you can say which role should automatically be assigned to the first image.

Because all roles are always set to the first image, the images would be all over the place and that is not effective:

$product->getResource()->getAttribute('key_point_1')->getFrontend()->getValue($product);
$product->getResource()->getAttribute('key_point_2')->getFrontend()->getValue($product);
$product->getResource()->getAttribute('key_point_3')->getFrontend()->getValue($product);

This only makes sense if they are necessary fields, an image role should be set by default when you assign it to the image role.

Hi @in-session,

Thanks for your update.

For the Media image type attribute there will be no is_required field hence we are not able to set whether it is required or not As per the Magento devdocs when we create Media image type attribute it will be an additional image type and it is an expected behaviour.is_required field is required for image attribute.

Hence to proceed further we are marking this as a feature request.

Thanks.
