For Product Texts there is a fallback implemented. If there is no text content in one of the following fields, than it will be looked up for content in the field below:

1. 'subheadline' from Product Text, which comes from TIM-TI
2. 'text' from Product Text
3. 'text_xx' from ProductTree-Entry of the country
4. 'text' from common ProductTree-Entry

I.e. if there is no content in the field “subheadline” of a product, then it will be looked for content in the field “text” from the Product Text. If the “text”-field has no content, too. Than it will be looked up for content in the “text_xx”-field for the country and so on.
