Any api call to the BatchUpsertCatalogObjects call that has an actual name change to the variant in the payload, sets the DescriptionHtml field to blank.
I’m using the c# square library version 40.1.0 (although I don’t think the version of the c# library matters, this looks like a server issue to me).
On the creation of the product with variations the description is set correctly.
I’m triggering the same exact code in 2 cases.
The case where there’s no change to any variation (quantity or otherwise). The DescriptionHtml field isn’t changed. Changes within the product have no affect.
The case where the name of the variation is different the DescriptionHtml is now gone even though the request clearly has a value in the Description field.

Here is another image to show what happened after the same API call using the same code is called but when the variation name is changed in some small way.
Is there any confirmation on this? I’m able to reproduce it easily and as you can imagine the customers that are using the square integration are not happy that the description is being removed.
Is there anything I can tell them about the effort to fix this issue?
Has there been any discussion on this? I can still reproduce this very easily and it is causing issues for my customers. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
