Magento 2 modul to fix multistore image role issue - "The Image cannot be removed as it has been assigned to the other image role"
Here you find information about our module to fix common issues with magento multistore related to image roles and not working image update / replacement
Why did we develop the module to fix product images in multistore?
We had multiple clients who had exactly the same issue. They tried to replace a image in a magento multistore and it just did not work like expected. Sometimes it was a missing replacement in a storeview. In some cases images could be not deleted due to assignment in a sub storeview to a role etc.
In general it just made no fun to replace product images in a multistore magento 2 system. Now it happend again for one client and we decided to fix this issue in general and provide a propper module for it.
This module solves this issue. It allows none developer easily to just replace product images in a multistore system like you would expect it to happen.
What are the functions of the modul?
The core functions
The core function of the module is to add a new "image Sync"-Function to productlevel. This takes the image roles of the "All Store views" and overwrittes the sub store views with it. This solves the cause for this issue "The Image cannot be removed as it has been assigned to the other image role" .
Just one click and all roles are synchronized and images can be changed/deleted like you would suspect it to work.
How to use it?
The module fixes this common problem

Inside our manual can be found explanation how to use it. Our modul adds a Button and function to sync the image roles inside of one product. The manual explains the process how to synch role types. This is the key to avoid this error message in Magento 2 Multistores.
We added a config area which allows to make the manual step via "sync Image" Button obsolete, too. How to do the setup can be found in the manual, too
