README

A Magento 2 admin module that displays a fieldset listing all parent products (Configurable, Grouped, Bundle) referencing the current product in the product edit form.

Overview

MGH_ParentProducts enhances the Magento admin product edit experience by providing a clear, ACL-protected overview of parent product relationships. This is especially useful for catalog managers and merchandisers working with complex product structures.

Problem & Solution

Ever found yourself lost in Magento's admin, desperately trying to figure out which configurable, grouped, or bundle products reference the simple product you're editing? Have you ever needed to navigate back to the product grid or, even worse, run a database query just to find a parent product?

If so, this module is for you. Now you get a clear, instant overview of all parent products referencing the current product, right in the admin product edit form.

No more wild goose chases.

Before After

How It Works

When editing a product in the Magento admin:

1. The module injects a collapsible fieldset "Parent Products" into the product form (if enabled and permitted).
2. The fieldset displays a grid listing all parent products (ID, SKU, Name, Type, Relation, Edit link).
3. The grid is dynamically populated via a provider interface, allowing for extensibility.
4. The fieldset is hidden if the module is disabled or the admin user lacks ACL permission.

Key Features

• Seamless admin integration: "Parent Products" grid on product edit form
• Intelligent provider: Extensible logic for parent product discovery
• ACL protected: Only visible to users with MGH_ParentProducts::parent_products permission
• Configurable: Enable/disable via system configuration
• Zero impact when disabled: No UI or performance overhead
• Graceful fallback: Parent name falls back to SKU if empty
• Unit tested: Ensures reliability and maintainability
