Quick Edit Disabled for Some Products

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
You are using WooCommerce with WPML and have encountered an issue where Quick Edit is disabled for some products. The message displayed is: 'Quick edit is disabled for product translations. Please manage product translations from the Translation Dashboard.'
Solution:
We have intentionally disabled the Quick Edit option for product translations to prevent potential issues, as product parameters are synchronized with the original product. Unfortunately, there is no option to enable Quick Edit for all products. However, you can try using the bulk edit feature as an alternative method for editing products.

Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case. We highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the issue persists, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.

Could you please provide a detailed step-by-step process along with screenshots? This will help me better understand the issue. Does the issue persist if you temporarily disable WPML?

dimitrisD-7	In our e-shop, we use Greek as the primary language and English as the secondary language. In both languages, the quick edit function works for some products, while for others, the attached message appears (we are attaching the corresponding screenshot). Message: Quick edit is disabled for product translations. Manage product translations from the Translation Dashboard. If we temporarily deactivate WPML, the quick edit function works for all products. We would like to ask if there is a way for the quick edit function to work for all products.

Message: Quick edit is disabled for product translations. Manage product translations from the Translation Dashboard. This option has been disabled intentionally, and there is currently no option to change this behavior. The product parameters are synchronized with the original product, and making changes through quick edit may lead to potential issues. However, you can try editing a product using bulk edit. I have attached a screenshot for your review.
