I have a question about potential limit of the spryker transfer objects.
Let's say we sometimes have products with sizeOptions and sometimes with colorOptions (and sometimes with other options) depending on what is a super attribute in the product.
How to approach defining this in the transfer object if it pretty much relies on what was configured in the admin/database and not the code?

    This sounds like a reason for multiple disparate types. If that is not possible, just create nullable fields in your DTOs and verify on the consuming side which one is which. But really, this should go into separate types if possible.

    All proprties of Spryker transfers are nullable.
    Also, it is supposed to use transfer objects without any limitation.
    You are not required to fill in all the fields with values, you can use it as you wish: one property with value and all other nulls, or only few properties could have a value and all other nulls.

    but that means I have to add them to the code every time some admin adds/clicks it in the admin panel which is not what I'm doing daily. that's the main isue here - inconsistency
