This feature introduces “Lazy References” to ensure import success regardless of deployment order. If an imported item references a missing Vocabulary or Category, the system creates a temporary “incomplete” dummy object. This special status allows the main content import to succeed immediately. The project’s focus is managing the status lifecycle to allow a smooth transition of these incomplete dummies to a fully approved state when the complete taxonomy object is imported later.
Key Benefits:
Order-Agnostic Deployment: Guarantees successful imports by decoupling content from its taxonomy dependencies, allowing content and categories to be deployed in any sequence.
High Success Rate: Prevents import batch failures by automatically creating placeholders, isolating cleanup and ensuring that core content is immediately available.
