OMG, new text editor is pathetic. Why they turned it on if it’s so buggy?
Please start reading from next message.
1) Hi, maybe I am dumb but I can’t get the logic beyond this change. AFAIU you removed backorder notification text and added some text shown when backorder time is not specified. Can you please explain the logic beyond this?
– to me it seems these functions meet different needs so why removing notification? It seems rather useful to me. BTW while testing previous version (1.4.2) I can’t make the removed feature to work (no backorder text was shown above shipping section).
– what’s the logic of new function (optional shipping description)? Why the text is shown instead of specified method time, what’s the use case?
2) It seems backorder time is not added anymore to the shipping time. I can’t make it work.
3) On thank you page and in the email only one date (maximum) is shown when “Display Exact Date” is turned on while both dates are shown as expected in the cart and checkout.
I switched to Storefront to be sure it’s not theme incompatibility and it’s the same.
// This is how the post was supposed to look //
After further testing I can report that issue #2 (backorder time is not added) was introduced in 1.4.0 while other issues are present in earlier versions as well.
Thank you for this report. It has been fixed in 1.4.5 and the backorder days field will now work properly as before.
Note that the correct behavior for the new backorder descriptions text field will takes precedence if no backorder days are specified. This is a lazy alternative to hide promise dates when a business cannot promise a specific timeline for products on backorder.
Essentially the original plan for this field was scrapped about 48 hours after the field was initially released. This is my fault and the field should not have been repurposed, but the basic logic for this feature should remain unchanged from here out.
