Attributes for s_user not created by API resource

[samuelvogel]

When creating a customer through the API resource, not entry in s_user_attributes is created with Shopware 5.2.16.

Example:
curl -i 'http://localhost/shopware/api/customers' --DIGEST -u user:key --globoff -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"email":"[email protected]","salutation":"mr","firstname":"Max","lastname":"Tester","billing":{"salutation":"mr","firstname":"Max","lastname":"Tester","street":"Musterstr. 1","zipcode":"12345","city":"Musterstadt","country":2}}'

This especially affects customer accounts created via Pickware POS.

Is this an error? From my understanding, attribute entities are only created when an attribute value is defined for the entity.

[samuelvogel]

Yes, the corresponding attributes should always be there. When registering via the frontend and manually creating a customer via the backend the attributes exist as well.

That's because these UIs create an attribute entity. This is not generally true for entity attributes.
