Vendor lost after adding characteristics

Hi,

Most of the time when I create a new product I copy another one that is almost similar. I then only need to alter some fields to have a new product.

Lately I noticed something strange. When I copy a product to create a new one I can change some fields and everything goes OK. The name of the Vendor is also copied and that is necessary.
Only when I change or add one of the characteristics the vendor disappears from the product. I sell downloadable files and one of my characteristics is 'filetype'. So when I have a product saved in several filetypes then clients can choose which filetype they want to download. Changing or adding a filetype causes the vendor field of the product to be set to 'None'.

Is that a bug or is that default behaviour? I like to keep the vendor of the product when I add characteristics. Now I have moments that I forget to check whether the vendor field is filled correctly. Vendors will not be happy to loose sales about something like this.

Thanks

Hi Jerome,

I try to tell my story with screenshots. The number of the screenshots is the order of the sequence. I hope this makes it all clear.

Hi Jerome,

My French is poor so It may be that I don't understand correctly what this post says.

I understand that I need to find the file 'shop_form' in the view 'productmarket' to change the described code.

Only.....in the template that I use there is no such file available in the mentioned view. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Jerome,

I indeed was reading wrong. The topic helped me to solve my problem.
Thank you,
