What happended?

After editing inventory item attributes (height, width, etc.) via the edit drawer, the "Associated Variants" section disappears from the inventory detail page. It only reappears after ~90 seconds (the staleTime window) or a full page refresh.

Expected behavior

Inventory item associated variants do not disappear on editing the inventory item attributes

Actual behavior

Inventory item associated variantsdisappear on editing the inventory item attributes, when waiting 90 seconds and performing another edit, the associated variants widget comes back with correct values

Suggested fix

I got this to work by making a change in src/hooks/api/inventory.tsx to include query in the query key:

export const useInventoryItem = (id, query?, options?) => {
  const { data, ...rest } = useQuery({
    queryFn: () => sdk.admin.inventoryItem.retrieve(id, query),
    queryKey: inventoryItemsQueryKeys.detail(id),  // ← query NOT in key
    ...options,
  })
  return { ...data, ...rest }
}
