Removing extra levels of product categories (sections) when updating the site
When receiving a product catalog from the site via the API, the entire structure of the site sections is loaded, as a result, the product categories are located along with such sections as "Contacts", "About Us", "News", in fact, the API gives not only the product categories, but also all the information about sections, while there is no mark that this is a section or category of goods, because of this there is a problem when updating the site and adding new products to the CMS Horosop site via the API.

An example of the structure obtained from the site

All products will be in the section "My site / Product catalog / . . . "
When refreshing the site, you will receive an error message "Category not found, or an invalid template was specified in the category. " As a result, we received the data in the form that the site gave, but the site does not accept the same data back!
To fix the problem, in the settings for uploading to the CMS Horoshop site, through the API, register the formula for removing extra levels of sections for the "Category" field
Formula: TRIM(REPLACE({BK product: Category}, "My site / Product catalog /", ""))
You need to substitute your values in the formula because they will differ from our example.
