Also master_categories_id is 0 for new products even tho the category is selected before the product creation and displayed in the UI as the master category.
Thanks for these reports - would you please open an issue in Github so we can track them?

Sigh. The use of the product_type (singular) element is pervasive throughout the various scripts (and sanitizations) associated with a product's addition/update.
As such, the best I can propose for any kind of compatibility is to update the various collect_info.php module comments for the notification to indicate that a watching observer should look first (via isset) for the product_type element and fall back to the products_type element otherwise.
Note that I've not (yet) looked at the issue with the master_categories_id for new products.
As always, I would say make code correct and damn the torpedoes/document a breaking change in the same PR.
No-one should test an update on a production site, so they have been warned. Such is progress.
Not my style! Having further reviewed the code, the quickest path to success is to simply copy the products_type value to another field named product_type for a to-be-updated product.Quote:
