Issue

Catalog rules stop working for a configurable product if its simple product is re-named.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a configurable product with an associated simple product.
2. Create a category.
3. Assign only the configurable product to the new category.
4. Create new catalog rules:
   • Condition = Category contains <new category id>
   • Action = 50% discount
   • Active = Yes
5. Perform reindex.
6. Check the configurable product on the frontend (the discount should be applied).
7. Check the catalogrule_product table (the simple product should have a discount).
8. Go to the Admin and change the name of the simple product. This would add a record to the catalogrule_product_cl table.
9. Execute the cron or the bin/magento cron:run --group=index --bootstrap=standaloneProcessStarted=1 command.
10. Check the catalogrule_product table.

Expected results:

The configurable product has a discount.

Actual results:

• The discount records created for the simple products are missing in the catalogrule_product table.
• The configurable product on the frontend has the full original price.
