Hi,
yes, thanks, this seems to have fixed the problem with variation IDs changing!
Then there is still the original problem left I wrote about. I tested this with a clean install and it is occuring there also.
Steps to produce:
1. create a new variable product, set attributes and create variations
2. set regular price for variations
3. translate the product in WooCommerce -> Multilingual
4. check the price on the translated variation: it is ok
5. update one original language product variant using rest api interface
6. check the variants: regular price has changed with original language product.
7. in the translation variation the regular price has not changed
This can be fixed by updating the product data manually or from WPML troubleshooting page. However this is not very convinient as prices are changing daily and this creates extra manual work for the customer.
Our second tier support is requesting more detailed information about how exactly the variants are updated one original language product using rest api interface.
while testing myself, I just used Postman software (hidden link)
And then I just use HTTP PUT to update the price to the product variation. Like this: hidden link
And we have the same result when we as a company use our own rest api client software (sorry I don't have code for that as I don't code it) but the idea is the same. Also this has been tried against different woocommerce instances on different servers. The one I used myself had only basic woocommerce+wpml plugins.
I have beem consulting our second tier support and our developers are actually working on a feature for supporting REST API with WooCommerce Multilingual, but this feature is still in development.
Until now I do not have any information about when the feature will be integrated into WCML.
Hello, is there any update on schedule for REST API support improvements?
We have thousands of products so it is impossible to update then manually. Customer is not happy because translations are not up to date and variants are missing or have wrong price or stock balance.
The Variation IDs issue is still a problem! We have a lot of e-commerce that has the variation IDs bug!
When updating the product, the variations are deleted and recreated. We've tried to bypass this problem dozens of times but there a no chance to pair variation IDs to our software...
We've tried even to attach to the meta data our internal software ID, doing a lot of REST API calls to pair the variations through the meta data ID, but when the variation is deleted and recreated changes even the meta_data array not including previous keys and adding the "_wcml_duplicate_of_variation" key to the array.
