removeProductsFromCategory

Requires permission products:product:update.

Detach products from a category. Only products currently in this category are affected; the product's other categories are untouched.

Errors: a failed call returns a GraphQL errors entry, not a field on the result, and data may be null or partial. Read the entry's extensions.code and message; every shape and code is in the Error reference.

Example:

GraphQL

mutation RemoveProductsFromCategory($categoryId: ID!, $productIds: [ID!]!) {
  removeProductsFromCategory(categoryId: $categoryId, productIds: $productIds) {
    changedCount
    skippedCount
    category {
      id
      code
      name
      createdAt
      childrenCount
      deletedAt
    }
  }
