Radio Button Custom Product Fields - possible problem?

[lesliekirk]

Make a custom field with radio buttons:

MyField: OptionOne OptionTwo OptonThre OptionFour

Now assign the correct option to each of the store's products.

Oh no! After assigning OptonThre to 100 different products I realized that it's spelled wrong! It should be OptionThree.

So I figured since it's a radio button I can just go and change it in the one place -- in the Custom Field -- and it will update on all 100 of my products. So Simple. That's what I thought the power of the radio button custom field was.

But no. If you go back to your original custom field and change the OptonThre radio button to OptionThree it does NOT update across all products with that assigned value. Instead it:

a) leaves the old value in the custom field for each assigned product and
b) removes the radio button selection from those products

Is this the expected behavior or a bug?

While this could theoretically fall in that ugly gray world of feature request, vs bug, after discussing it with Burch we feel this is a bug.

However we're not going to tackle it until Version 9.
