Product Variations Stock Issue after 2.4 – 2.5.1 update

    Not an immediate issue as I ran this all offline, however after upgrading from 2.4 to 2.5.1 I am suddenly unable to save certain settings in Variations on a variable product.

    The main crux of the issue seems to be around managing stock levels. I can enter an individual stock level for a variation and save it however I cannot alter the status “In Stock” or “Out of Stock”.

    I have also found that turning off manage stock-levels in Variable product wouldn’t save but it would then allow you to change the status from “In stock” to “Out of Stock” and those changes would save even if the manage stock tickbox didn’t.

    To clarify I am using variable products whose stock levels are determined by the parent-product. So Manage stock is enabled under “Inventory” with the overall stock-level. In order to use this parent figure I have left all variable products with “Manage Stock” enabled but 0 Value in the stock level (So it grabs the value from the parent) However the value of “Stock Status” is stuck on “Out of stock” unless I manually inject the SQL into the database, or turn-off Manage Stock and then change it.

    Quite annoying also that in products that are already set-up I cannot edit the product variations without it resetting the value of “Stock Status” back to out-of-stock.

    Is the “Stock Status” trying to derive it’s value from the variable product stock or something? Because I can see that conflicting with the ability to derive a variable products stock level from the parent stock.

    Either way it’s not an immediate concern as this is all offline at the moment. I wonder is anybody having any similar issues? If they’re not can I assume this is a problem with my XAMPP set-up or local machine?

    No worries,

    Jack.

    Ran into this also on my partner’s site, and this is on a live site, so not an XAMPP issue.

    Tried the manual fix.

    Manage stock tick box under variations now saves, however the Stock Status still defaults to out-of-stock when the variations stock is left blank.

    The functionality I’m after seems to work by unchecking Manage Stock at variation level, which I’ll now look to do for every product. So I don’t think this is an issue anymore.

    However I’m not sure if the Stock Status is meant to derive itself from the variation stock level. This makes sense in terms of functionallity however leaving the variation stock level at 0 is meant to default it to the parent stock level, which the Variation Stock Status clearly isn’t recognising the parent stock level and just derives exclusively on the Variation Stock Level.

    However I believe WooCommerce is no longer giving me stock levels of [Number of variations] * [Parent Stock Value] which is why I originally needed to have Manage Stock on each variation Enabled.

    Happy to mark as resolved, not even sure if the above is going to affect anything else. Like I say the functionallity I’m after is there so I’m happy.

    jackreece53, if manage_stock is ON at variation level, it will look at the stock field. Blank or 0 will switch to out of stock.
