2026-03-09: Product Service – skip related items validation

Overview

A new query parameter skipRelatedItemsValidation has been added to product creation and update endpoints. When set to true, the validation that checks whether related products exist is skipped. This is useful during data loading scenarios where related products may not yet exist and will be created later.

Important: The skipRelatedItemsValidation parameter is only respected when the allowToSkipRelatedProductsValidation system setting is set to true. Otherwise, it is disregarded.
