Background of the issue:
I am trying to maintain the default variation selection for WooCommerce products translated from Italian to English using WPML. The issue started a few weeks ago, possibly after an update. My products are originally in Italian and translated into English. Each product has 4 variations with a default one selected. I want the English versions to have the same default variation as the Italian products. Here is a link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link. I expect the English page to display like the Italian page: hidden link.
Symptoms:
English products no longer have a default variation selected. Customers must manually select a variation to see further pictures and add the product to the cart. In the backend, the Italian version shows a default variation, but the English version shows 'Default Form Values: No default' and this value is locked.
Questions:
How can I ensure that the English versions of my products have the same default variation selected as the Italian versions?
Is there a way to fix this issue without manually editing 1500+ products?
Sure please, go ahead with duplicating the website. I cannot create a staging site as the website is too big and I don't have the space for a copy on the server.
