Specifies whether to force the update of a variant level attribute (VLA) value down from a
VARIANT GROUP product to all child VARIANT products.
This flag is only taken into consideration for VARIANT GROUP products and only where the attribute is
currently set as a VLA on the VARIANT GROUP product.
If omitted, the default value false will be used which means that possible VLA values on a VARIANT GROUP
product will not be enforced down to child VARIANT products.
Note that forceVla flag is only taken into consideration when the attribute change will be an update operation
but not an add value (insert) operation on a VARIANT product.
This means that a child VARIANT product will get the new value if it does not have the attribute assigned or
an attribute value defined even if forceVla is false while other child VARIANT products that already have
an attribute value defined will be left unchanged.
This is because a VARIANT product without the attribute or without an attribute value defined is treated as an
add value (insert) operation while the other VARIANT products are treated as update operations.
