I'm trying to create an order with a bundled product on the backend. I see that when I add a bundled product, the individual products in the bundle show up.
However, it does not prompt me to select the variation of the individual items in the bundle. What is the best way to do this?
Thanks for contacting WPClever Support Forum. We're not available at the weekends so today (Monday) I am able to process your ticket.
Indeed, there wasn't any reminder for users to choose the variation. However, since this is a manual order, you can click on the Edit button next to the end of the line then add Meta to that product: https://www.screencast.com/t/MTqzKUd5 in case you need to make sure the order will be packed properly based on the customer's choices.
The meta keys and meta values are stored as inputted, correct? There won't be any matching to existing attributes or such. I entered them as _variation_id to match what were on other orders but noticed that the meta values just sort of disappear after being saved. They do get entered to the database though and that's more important for me right now.
Are they any dev plans to allow variation selection for product bundles?
Thanks for reporting this. I have already added a note in our developers' dashboard to ask about this. When I receive any response from them, I will keep you posted about this issue.
For now, you can kindly use the method I instructed as a workaround.
Currently, we haven't this function for backend but you can do the trick that adds a variation then assign it to a bundle. Please watch the screen record video https://www.screencast.com/t/HLHAqjIeIcy2
The key you should use is '_woosb_parent_id' then the value is the bundle product ID.

Hi Janilyn,
Thanks for that. I figured as much.

We apologize for this shortcoming in our plugin!
