Hey folks, thanks for the additional info here — sorry, I didn’t realize you were creating these items via API specifically! I’m working on reproducing this on my own account.

Just to confirm, is the online fulfillment method the only thing that’s being updated when you’re making these items available manually, or are there other updates on top of that (e.g. menus and categories)?
