Fallback for Variant Pre-Selection
The storefront presentation can be used to define a specific variant preselection for the listing as well as for the detail page.
If the main article is now selected for display in the listing, but no variant is defined for the preselection on the detail page, any variant is preselected seemingly at random, even if it is no longer available in terms of stock.
Here it would be desirable if we could simply select the next available variant option as a fallback.

The randomly selected main variant is also a big issue for us!
It creates great complexity when connecting plugins and extensions.
Many things are based on the main variant, which does not provide all the data of the other variants (availability, performance, etc.).
Can the same variant (with fallback) always be created as the main variant? -
