I found a couple of old threads from people with this same issue, but no real resolution or solution. I am creating a custom menu to use instead of the stock dynamic main menu and I cannot seem to get the "Activate menu tab for" to work for the appropriate category that the product is in.
Example:
I have numerous top level menu items that if I give them the "products.view" dispatch value to activate on it actives on ANY product view (even if it isn't in that category). I turned back on the dynamic menu and that one works correctly.
My question is how can I drill down the dispatch value for a specific category's products? Is it possible?
I have attached images to hopefully help better explain what I am seeing.
