I am not sure whether you have it working or not. Above pattern works on my 
end at least.

It was a deliberate decision. The topic was first mentioned in:

https://code.qt.io/cgit/qbs/qbs.git/tree/changelogs/changes-1.18.0.md

The "product" variable in Export items was scheduled for removal in the 1.20 
release. The re-introduction of "product", but now as an alias of 
"importingProduct" has been mentioned in:

https://code.qt.io/cgit/qbs/qbs.git/tree/changelogs/changes-1.22.0.md

I am sorry to hear that this change creates inconvenience for you. What 
would you suggest to improve in case we have to do such a breaking change again?

Don't take critics of colleagues personally. You know the problem, you can 
help fixing the problem, everybody will be happy. People complain every day 
and have already forgotten about it the other day.

Cheers
Richard
