I've brought this up before, and while the catalog is working in Desktop, so you can set the Gender Compatibility of an item in Studio so the inventory will see it.... you still can't use it! When you click on it, it still says, "Wrong Gender!". Check out this item:

 

https://www.imvu.com/shop/product.php?products_id=67581634

 

It's set to Male and it lists in inventory as Male... but try to use it. Nothing. Still says it's Female. It's derived from a female base, all of my items are because the male template has some issues. I make female and then male versions. But it ignores what I set the compatibility to, and always goes back to female.

 

I thought this problem was fixed months ago, almost a year, but it's still there.

I already made another version and uploaded it. Because there wasn't much to this item, I just recreated in Studio using the data files off a fresh derive from an empty male accessory.

 

I know I submitted this as a Male accessory. I never submitted it as female. It changed it to female. Studio set it to female, even after I checked and double checked the settings. What's more, I test my items after I upload them. I know it used to work for men... and then didn't, at some unknown point.

 

I looked over the original tail, which I made a copy of and edited in Studio (16797337), and it's set to Male as well, derived from the same King glasses. It's crazy it ever thought this was female.

 

I assumed this issue was from reusing a female derived product, but I guess it's not even that. It's just a bizarre server glitch. And, like ants in your house, if there's one glitch, it's likely there's many more such items.

Hey @MaxSMoke777​, I am confused. This PID, 67581634, is derived from 'Glasses King Gold' (PID 669) which male, the product is set to 'Male' Compatibility in Studio (as expected) and the Compatible Body Pattern PID in Classic Create Mode is '191' (as expected) and it is appearing in female category (I am guessing this is because it was set to this category when submitted via the Classic Create Mode?). This PID was also submitted at some point via Studio which as of January of 2024 will set any attachment as "AvatarAttachmentRestricted" (There is a full explanation here), which will try to enforce the compatibility (male), but because the product is in the female shop category it is in a broken state. If I understand the intention, I think all you need to do is resubmit it via Classic Create Mode and set the category to Clothing > Clothing for Male > Male Accessories > New Accessories and it should behave as expected.
