Bluestone PIM Release 80-2
November 3, 2026 - Highlights

- Rules engine: Create one-way relations
The rules engine can now create one-way relations. This lets you link high-volume product sets, such as phones to accessories, without creating redundant inverse relations that bloat the system, which is important for stability and scalability. - Column setups: Share with users and groups
You can now share column setups directly with specific users and user groups, making it easier to tailor workspace views to relevant teams without cluttering the global "Public" list. For each shared setup, you can assign either view or edit permissions to control access:
- Column setups: Pin favorite setups and faster navigation
You can now pin your most frequently used column setups to keep them easily accessible. Setups are now organized into structured sections, paired with a quick top filter and a more prominent search bar to help you find and apply configurations faster:
- Column setups: Edit mode on duplication
Duplicating a column setup now opens the new copy directly in edit mode, preventing unconfigured setups from becoming active before required modifications are made. - PPE: Unassign assets from products
PPE users can now be granted permission to unassign assets from products directly - eliminating the need for supervisor approval and allowing suppliers to work more autonomously.
Please see How to configure and use the personalized product editor (PPE) for more information.
- Views: Quick-edit query conditions
You can now adjust and save conditions for a saved query view directly via its three-dot menu (⋮), provided you have edit access to that view:
Improvements
- Attributes on relations: Consistent global attributes across contexts
Global attributes on relations are now consistent across contexts. - Products: Archiving runs in the background
Archiving products now runs as a background process, as it already does for attribute definitions. This avoids long response times and timeouts, especially for products with a lot of related data. - Task notifications: One event when many products are added
When many products are added to a task at once, the "Task scope updated" notification is now sent as a single notification instead of one per product. - Assets: Clearer handling of failed image loads
The "Image load failed!" message is now handled more gracefully, and assets without a preview show a new empty thumbnail. - Assets: Removed unused link in the 'Add asset' modal
We have removed the unused link that caused confusion. - Translations: Legacy pages moved to the Translations app
The pages from the old Languages app that have not been redesigned have been moved to the new Translations app and marked as "legacy", so the functionality remains available. - PPE: Name and description during asset upload
PPE users can now enter an asset's name and description directly when uploading it from the PPE. - Views: Improved saved view management
We have separated the workflows for updating existing views and saving new ones:
- New 'Edit' menu option: The three-dot menu (⋮) now features Edit (replacing Rename) to update a view's name, column setup, and sharing settings.
- Dedicated modals for saving: Clicking Save view now opens separate modals for Update and Save as new, eliminating confusion when saving changes:

- Task notifications improvements
We have made several improvements to task notifications so they are more efficient to read - both on the notifications page and in emails. The release also includes a new notification setting that lets you be notified when a task is re-assigned.
- New MCP Server tools: CLA management
We have added even more tools to the Bluestone PIM MCP Server for working with category level attributes, expanding what your AI assistant can do.
View the full list of available MCP tools! - System monitor: Failed asset attribute updates
Assets that fail to be updated are now listed in the System monitor, making it easier to follow up on them. - Import history: See who started an import
The history event for an import now shows the user who initiated it, including for CSV imports. - Content store: Checkboxes for multi-select filters
Multi-select filters in the Content store now use checkboxes, making it easier to select several values at once.
Fixes
- Assets: Uploading new asset versions
Uploading a new version of an asset no longer results in an error page. - Relations: Per-product quota enforced
The quota for the number of relations per product can no longer be bypassed. - Query Builder: Status filter pill reflects the applied status
When searching in the Query builder with a Status condition, the filter pill shown in the search bar now updates to reflect the newly applied status. - Product list: Published status filter includes products to be unpublished
The Published status filter again returns products with the status 'To be unpublished' when the product list is served by the query builder. - Product details: Fallback context values in the language tab
Attribute values from the fallback context are now shown in the secondary context when you log in directly to the secondary context, without having to switch contexts first. - Category picker: Expanding subcategories in search results
Subcategories can now be expanded in search results when linking categories to a product. - Import mapping: Searching for attributes
Attributes are now found when searching on the import mapping page, without requiring an exact match of the attribute name. - Excel export: Category column in non-default contexts
The Excel export is no longer empty when you export a product from a context that falls back to another context, the product is linked to a non-translated category, and the export includes the 'Category' column.
