"track quantity" turns on after I create a new variant that shouldn't be tracked.

Hi,

I'm using the Graph QL Admin API to create variants for a product using the "productVariantsBulkCreate" mutation.

The variants should not track inventory as I'm using Printful, so I set "tracked" to false under "inventoryItem". In order to set the location for the variant I have to add the ID of the Printful Location, the only place I can do that is under "inventoryQuantities" which also require me to set "availableQuantity" which I do.

When I create all the variants they all come in as expected and I can see the product and variants on the products page of the store, but after a few minutes most (but not all) of the variants is updated so "Track quantity" is marked, and if I query Graphql then I can also see the variants has "tracked" set to true.

If I don't set "inventoryQuantities" then the inventory stays non tracked, but then the location of the store is just set to "Shop location" instead of Printful.

I can run through all the variants afterwards with graphql and set tracked to false, but that feels wrong, doing it once should be enough!

Hope someone can help!

I have 30 variants, they are all set to tracked false, but when I check them afterwards it looks like this:
