BZ 1239077: Cannot rename product to original name after importing a manifest

Issue

If you create a product in a new organization, import a manifest, and then rename the product, you cannot rename the product to its original name. For example, in the following scenario:
  1. Create a product "MyProduct" in a new organization.
  2. Import a manifest.
  3. Rename the product to "YourProduct".
  4. Attempt to rename the product to "MyProduct".
This results in the following error message:
Error:

  Validation failed: Name Product with name 'MyProduct' already exists in this organization.

Workaround

You can run the following command to work around this issue:
# foreman-rake console
> Katello::MarketingProduct.find_by_name('MyProduct').destroy
This allows you to rename the product.

Note

This issue might return as soon as you import or refresh a manifest.
BZ 1241077: API settings unquoted integer provided gives error
Issue

If you provide a numeric value to an API element which requires a numeric value, you may see the following error message.

Value is invalid: must be integer
The cause of this issue is that the value is tested with a regular expression and the numeric value fails the test.
Workaround

Enclose the numeric value in quote characters (").
