Prepopulate empty AssociationGroup in catalog
Hi Pär,
I typically register these types at Startup with the following code inside an initialization module:
var associationDefinitionRepository = context.Locate.Advanced.GetInstance<GroupDefinitionRepository<AssociationGroupDefinition>>();
associationDefinitionRepository.Add(new AssociationGroupDefinition { Name = "MyGroup" });
I don't see why you couldn't incorporate this into an import process that registers new types that appear in new import files. I don't believe there are any restrictions that require their addition at startup, but I haven't tested that specifically.
Hope this helps,
/Matt

Thank you Matthew, worked like a charm. Many thanks for seeing through my misguided attempts at solving it and providing a simple solution.

I'm working on a project where I would like to create empty associationgroups for items to avoid having editors/admins having to go into commerce manager and instead be able to work through the catalog admin view.
This is possible in the commerce manager UI as shown in this picture
However I have not found a way to do this programmatically e.g when syncing the catalog from another system. Is this possible in any way?
