Configurable product attribute scope

[chris-brabender]

When creating a new product attribute that is to be used for configurable products the scope option defaults to Store view and allows you to set Yes to Use To Create Configurable Product.

After you save the attribute and try to create a configurable product based on that, the attribute is not returned in the variations search box.

If you then go and edit the attribute, change the scope to Global, and set Use To Create Configurable Product to Yes, the attribute is visible in the variations search box.

If you select Store view or Website for Scope the Use To Create Configurable Product option is hidden.

When creating a new attribute, by default should the Use To Create Configurable Product option be unavailable when Scope is defaulting to Store view? This is a little confusing as the option is presented but is not actually used correctly.

Looks like fields dependency is broken on Stores > Attributes > Product page. Use To Create Configurable Product option must be unavailable for any value of Scope other than Global. Now it is shown for initial Store View value of Scope, disappears after change of Scope to any value and does not appear anymore.

You can also create product attributes for configurable product directly from product creation page. Press Create New Variation Set in Variations panel of Product Details tab and you'll see same product attribute form, Use To Create Configurable Product field depends on Scope correctly there.
