[TYPO3-commerce] Strange behaviour of dropdownfields (Typo 4.2.6, Commerce 0.9.8)

[Morten Olesen]

Hi Chris,

Sorry for the late reply - vacation and all.

I remembered that when updating a very old shop to the latest svn we had 
a problem with some attributes disappearing - the solution at that time 
was to go to the attribute and save it once more - guessing something 
has changed between then and the inline records
