Description

Problem:
There is an algorithm to determine the best image to represent an Item in listings like special:nearby and other places. It checks if a specific Property (image) exists on an Item. If it does exist it uses that one. If it doesn't it moves on to other properties according to a configured list. Since the list was created a number of new image Properties have been created and should be added to the configuration.

The following Properties should be added:

Acceptance criteria:

  • new Properties are taken into account for determining the main image of an Item
