[bambamboole]

Preconditions

I have a Magento Installation where I can't save attributes on a configurable product. (simple products work!).

Magento Version: 2.2.2
PHP Version: 7.1.13
MySQL Version: 10.1.30-MariaDB

Steps to reproduce

1. Add a configurable product
2. Change some attributes (tested with product images and country of manufacturer)
3. Press Save

Actual Result

The following error occurs:

Warning: array_filter() expects parameter 1 to be array, string given in /var/www/dev.****.com/htdocs/web/vendor/magento/module-configurable-product/Controller/Adminhtml/Product/Initialization/Helper/Plugin/Configurable.php on line 145

Expected Result

The product should be saved normally

@bambamboole Did you ever get this figure out? Getting same error. Magento 2.2.1

[bambamboole]

@davygxyz Yeah it was a problem with the Web Application Firewall in Azure. After some research I saw an Ajax Request which responded with a 403 nginx page. After that it was clear it is no problem with magento but with the setup.

@bambamboole Nice! thanks for leading me in the right direction. I've been stuck on it for a day, so this helps.

This issue happens when one of the attributes of the products is required.

Login In your phpmyadmin
Go to your website database
Open "eav_attribute" table
Find Your multiselect "attribute_id"
Edit Row
If "backend_model" Column blank then paste this Magento\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute\Backend\ArrayBackend

Hi @bambamboole. Thank you for your report.
The issue has been fixed in #16597 by @swnsma in 2.2-develop branch

Why not 2.2.6? This is pretty serious problem and might cause quite a many frustrated users from having to re-type their changes after first validation error on a configurable product form wiping rendering the whole form unsaveable.

@steps
1. use 2.2.0 - 2.2.5 with sample data
2. [admin] navigate to Catalog > Products
3. [admin] filter the list by Configurable products
4. [admin] open any product (let's say: first one)
5. [admin] create a validation error (blank out the name of a product for example)
6. [admin] attempt to save it (use main orange Save button)
7. [admin] {nothing happens because there's a validation error}
8. [admin] fix the validation error (restore the name)
9. [admin] attempt to save again (use main orange Save button)

@expected 
1. product gets properly saved

@actual
1. Magento crashes (basically you lose your data and have to reload the page and 
   retype everything, while making it dead-sure that you have no form validation errors)

I'd strongly urge this change to be part of 2.2.6!

I faced similar error when I try to add a new configurable product.
My magento is CE 2.2.6.

If I put price for accociated child priducts such as 10000.00, this error will be occurred.
So I tried to put price such as 10000, I could skip this error.

My currency setting is JPY. JPY doesn't have decimal point price.

I think Magento 2 has price operation issue, especially "," mark or "." mark. Also, that should support decimal point and no decimal point price.
