I have a Magento 2.4.3 multi-store and I am currently creating categories programmatically, with the following code:
$category = $objectManager->create('MagentoCatalogModelCategory',
['data' =>
["name" => $refCat['name'],
"is_active" => $refCat['active'],
"include_in_menu" => $refCat['menu'],
"parent_id" => $parentID,
"store_id" => $refCat['store_id']]]);
$category->setCustomAttributes(["display_mode" => "PRODUCTS",
"custom_use_parent_settings" => true,
"is_anchor" => "1"]);
$repository = $objectManager->get(MagentoCatalogApiCategoryRepositoryInterface::class);
$repository->save($category);
Unfortunately, I am unable create categories with the same name, example “Brands”, even if they are assigned to different store ids, as I get the following error: Could not save category: URL key for specified store already exists.
After reviewing the URL_Rewrite table, I found that the entries for any store created using the above method have a store_id value of 1, regardless of what value was passed assigned when the category was created.
What am I missing?
