Hi,

In PIM when I try to rename a **category** url I get the following error message: “The URL is used by another **product**.”. What does this mean? Is it baseproduct or a variant? If I take a look in the event log the system id for this so called “another product” is a system id that does not exist in neither baseproduct or variant db table. What is causing this error?

Litium version: 6.1.1

Thanks! I finally found a base product with the same url as the category.
