Price issues with configurable products linked to the same simple product, same online shop - Magento 2

[FCarriere-37]

Preconditions and environment

Dear,

We are currently migrating from Magento 1 to Magento 2.

On Magento 1, we were able to create two configurable products with different prices, both linked to the same simple product.

It seems this is no longer possible in Magento 2, as it automatically applies the same price from the shared simple product to all related configurable products.

Can you confirm if this is native behavior in Magento 2?

If so, could you suggest any proven solutions or workarounds to display configurable products with different prices while still linking them to the same simple product?

Thank you in advance.
Best regards,

Steps to reproduce

1. create a simple product, with given prices
2. Create 2 configurable products
3. Link those 2 products to the same simple product
4. Apply a specific price on each of the configurable product

Expected result

2 configurable products, linked to the same storage management.
But with distinct prices each.

Actual result

Only the price of the simple product is displayed.
