I have created one parametric product by catalogue creator and save my product as .cmdrw formate but seeing this pop up after reopening it again. Anyone help in this
Hi,
From the looks of it, your Catalogues are not embedded correctly.
However, perhaps try setting your Catalogue to "Members Only" and push the Catalogue to the server. That should fix the issue.
In any case, please contact our Dev Support for further help on your issue: Contact Us – Configura Help Center
Thanks!
