Duplicating products also copy the price history

Hi Rune,

That’s quite an odd situation you’ve got there. Are you using the default WooCommerce duplicate tool or a third-party plugin for this? Our tests show that only the last price from the original product is carried over when duplicating, mimicking the behavior of creating a new product.

Nevertheless, to address this concern, we’re considering adding an option to delete product history on a per-product basis.

Hi again,

Yes i am using the default duplicating option. So what i have noticed is that if the product i do duplicate has a different price than the new copy then i get both prices in the history, but if both products has the same price then i get only one row in the history.

So no problem as long as orginal and copied product has the same prices. My products does not have any history so i can not say that it copies all history. So you might have correct, only orginal price is copied.

Got it.
You can hide it, and it won’t affect the chart or display as the lowest price. Another workaround is deactivating our plugin before duplicating the product.

As I mentioned earlier, we’re considering adding an option to delete price histories on a per-product basis. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!
