Get all stores for admin scope

[barryvdh]

When the scope is admin global, shouldn't all stores be selected?

In my case, I had a 'price' attribute, which had the same value for multiple stores. But when updating, only the admin value was updated, so the actual storeview values where kept. I did have the prices configured as global..

Or should I have configured something else differently?

I'm not sure if this should be just for 'global', or for everything with 'admin' store. I suspect only for global. But I don't think the website view is working either, is it?

Global:
SELECT csmain.store_id from core_store as csmain

Website:
SELECT csmain.store_id from core_store as csmain WHERE csmain.website_id IN (SELECT csmain.website_id from core_store as csmain WHERE csmain.code IN ('store1'))

Store:
SELECT csmain.store_id from core_store as csmain WHERE csmain.code IN ('store1')

Currently only the Store variant is used.

Or am I misunderstanding this functionality?

Importing globally is different to importing to every store.

For example, lets say you have 3 english store views and 1 spanish, you might want the global, admin product description to be english, and only set the spanish store view's product description.

That way, you can update the 3 english store's description by just updating the global value, instead of having to edit it in every store...
