#40319 Catalog Documents: Field Main Picture is not updated when main picture is not set via page action The Main Picture field on catalog documents now correctly reflects the state when the main picture is set automatically on first insert or changed via Picture Document ID, not only when using the Set as Main Picture action.

#40782 Copy Item: Catalog Translations are copied only when Copy Description is enabled Catalog translation copying is now treated independently from the Copy Description setting, so translations are copied when the Copy Translation option is enabled regardless of the description setting.
