ISBN field & migrating ISBN data from a deprecated plug-in

    When the ecom bookstore was built there was no intrinsic ISBN field and a plug-in> “Product GTIN (EAN, UPC, ISBN) for WooCommerce” was used.
    It has been deprecated.

    As best as I can tell there is a new field for ISBN in Product entry on the Inventory tab. I don’t know when this appeared as I don’t do product entry.
    Previously, as best as I remember from 2019’s set-up, it was entered as an Attribute. I don’t believe the plugin put that field in the Product entry. The support and documentation for the plug-in is lacking now that it is abandoned.

    Is WooCommerce handling ISBN as a dedicated field now? Do I have to migrate my Attribute data into the new field before uninstalling the old plug-in? How best to migrate this data to a usable field?

    Thanks

    Further info:
    The site was set up with ISBN as a Attribute.
    The plugin has been deactivated and soon to be removed, as no data is present.

    Is there another method to better handle this than adding and entering an Attribute, as a field?

    Hi @kingcom

    Thanks for reaching out!

    I understand that you are using the third-party plugin “Product GTIN (EAN, UPC, ISBN) for WooCommerce” on your site. And now, that it is being deprecated, you are looking for an alternative.

    Kindly be reminded that this is a third-party plugin which we don’t provide support for (please see our Support Policy here). However, upon searching the internet, I found the EAN, UPC and ISBN for WooCommerce that you could check for your reference.

    Hope this helps!
