whyess

Okay yes, I was missing something simply: Extra Product Options added a particular section to the New/Edit Product screen, with a tab entitled “Builder” where I was able to make the varying selections & price adjustments, & even add the boolean entries in bulk! Though some extra messages now showing up & extra prices/nags like multiple $price prints under the description (can’t find out what’s producing them) but I guess I can csshack my way around it! Thank you very much!

I used WooCommerce Extra Product Options Pro to solve this issue from the advice provided by @rur165 at: https://themehigh.medium.com/conditionally-displaying-fields-based-on-product-variations-woocommerce-checkout-field-editor-44bf64c39a54

I must have no idea how either of these work… Is it that I must make Single Variable products, define the variables of each variance, and combine them through something like Composite Products? Because it seems completely unreasonable to need so much handwork just to add a third selector (I’m over 500 variants). I’ve also seen the “Hide unavailable options” tickbox amongst one of the two plugins, can’t remember now but even after checking that box the out-of-stock options are visible & now throw two variants of the error message upon selecting: One has the Woocommerce modal saying “SORRY, NO PRODUCTS MATCHED YOUR SELECTION. PLEASE CHOOSE A DIFFERENT COMBINATION.”, the other says a slight variation of the same message but without the Woocommerce modal box around it — I’m assuming that has to do with one of the plugin throwing its own errors…

More efficiently, another platform allowed for entering [option1|option2|option3|price] with boolean in this simple way, defining the three categories & its order prior but able to add the varying combination of options in bulk (as in a non-accordion-expanding modal or simple view), is there a way to initiate that? Or am I missing something with either Extra Product Options or the Composite Products plugins that would allow that easily (I am looking at videos on Youtube but they are using a different context for what I thought could be a simple task)

Sorry for the double post, was trying to remove the prior one

This is what I’ve tried so far because logically I thought this should do it, in order to reduce the number of Variables:

Still able to select the selection on it but getting “Out Of Stock” messages… Or maybe there is a bulk way to add it, as is “On [Option 1], display this array of attributes in [color] option, and in third option [size] only display (this array of attributes) based off the two prior selected options”, without having to do: [Car | Blue | Small] [Car | Red | Small] etc. until infinity!

This is what I’ve tried so far because logically I thought this should do it, in order to reduce the number of Variables:

It’s basically trying to achieve the effect of either Setting the particular combination of variations to “disable visibility of Yellow as an option in [COLOR] dropdown once TRUCK is selected in [Vehicle] Option amongst another variation choice of ([Vehicle-Truck] [any] [any] $price)” in the Porduct Data menu of hte Product page, or swomehow removing from visibility any options that are not available for that selected Vehicle type.

I just tried this code but I think the most that has been achieved is that the variations (Option Yellow is still visible when Truck is selected) are there, yet after attempting to Add To Cart an error message pops up saying “COLOR IS A REQUIRED FIELD” and it kinda glitches out sometimes (I also installed a piece of code I found that tries to hide “choose a product”-esque variables in the dropdown, but I’m sure this is having no bearing on the efficacy of the above-mentioned code).

I appreciate the assistance still, in reading your code logically it seems it should work but i’m not seeing the change , maybe it’s just applying the changes slowly .
