Problem

When adding a new value in a Text-type Product Attribute, the system auto-populates the Value field with a numeric placeholder. This placeholder can be saved without user modification and is treated as a valid value.


Impact

  • Placeholder values saved unintentionally → data integrity risk
  • No validation to ensure user input
  • Inconsistent behavior vs other forms (no blank-field validation)
  • Requires manual overwrite → error-prone for large datasets

Expected Behavior

System should ensure placeholder values are not persisted as actual data.


Suggested Solution

  • Do not auto-populate (leave blank + enforce validation), OR
  • Treat placeholder as non-persistent and require user modification before save, OR
  • Add validation to block saving unchanged placeholder values
