I need to use the same simple product in multiple different variable products with the goal of being able to offer the simple product(s) in one of two drop-down options for a custom assembly using WPClever's premium Product Bundle Plug-In (5.4.2.) The problem is the simple product is already offered in one variable product and I can't use the same SKU twice.
I am using wordpress (5.6.2 )and WooCommerce.
Note: The new variable products do not have to be public or seen to the viewer; I simply need to create a new variable product with already used SKUs to meet the needs of a new smart bundle.
Any workaround or help appreciated! I can offer more details and screens also.
Do you want to add the same products to a smart bundle many times? You can check the plugin settings, find the Search settings, choose Yes for Accept same products then add that same product again to the bundle.
If this is not what you please, kindly provide more screenshots so that I can give you instructions on that.
My question may be more of an issue with Wordpress/ Woo Commerce itself.
But, basically, I need to use the same simple product(s) in a variety of variable products in order to offer the correct variations for specific smart bundles. But I can only use the corresponding SKU for simple products once. The only way around this that I have found is modifying the function.php code for themes and that gets override every time you update your theme and can potentially affect the theme.
I have consulted this with our developers and they said this is impossible to be done and doing that is not recommended. Our plugin supports adding variations of variable products to a smart bundle and also allows adding the same product multiple times from the plugin settings. You can kindly use that: https://prnt.sc/10gn2d6.
