RESOLUTION

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
This condition occurs when a user assigns a product to a category in a catalog and the catalog name includes an ampersand (&), such as &quot;Category1 & Category2&quot;. If the user sets the primary parent category to the same, the user cannot make changes to the product attributes in the future.
