Hi @adamwaclawczyk,

Thanks for your reporting and collaboration.

We have tried to reproduce the issue in Latest 2.4-develop instance and the issue is not reproducible.Kindly refer the screenshots.

Empty color value is not saved to catalog_product_entity_int with NULL value.

Kindly recheck the issue in latest 2.4-develop instance and elaborate the steps to reproduce if the issue is still reproducible.

Thanks.

@magento give me 2.4-develop instance

I'll come back to this later but for now I tested on fresh 2.4.8-beta1 warden env and can confirm the issue is not present.
I can only assume now that this issue is present when upgrading Magento from older version, having e.g. 2.4.6-p6 db present. This was tested when upgrading from 2.4.6-p6 to 2.4.7-p3 (I might have setup clean Magento but kept 2.4.6 clean db...) Anyways I'll update once I have more info.

[adamwaclawczyk]

Confirming that issue is not present when installing fresh Magento 2.4.7-p3.

@engcom-Bravo Steps to reproduce include installing fresh 2.4.6-p6 and later upgrading to 2.4.7-p3 version. Only then the problem appears. And since most stores will upgrade from previous versions - this is still a valid issue.
