 * Hi, Thank you for creating this amazing plugin. it’s been incredibly helpful 
   for our project. I’m currently using it to manage product tabs and wanted to 
   suggest a feature that I believe could benefit many users.
 * We create products via API and populate tab content on a per-product basis. Currently,
   the “Override Tab Content” option defaults to off, which means we need to manually
   enable it for each product.
 * Could you consider adding a global setting in the plugin options to set the default
   behavior for tab overrides? For example, a toggle to make all product tabs overridden
   by default unless explicitly disabled.
 * This would streamline workflows for API-based product creation and help users
   who manage unique tab content per product.
   Would it also be possible for you 
   to suggest a temporary workaround or solution for this functionality in the meantime?
 * Thank you for the great plugin and support! 
   Best regards,

 * Hi, [@lsdev50](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lsdev50/) .
 * Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to share your suggestion.
   We really appreciate it!
 * I’ve added your request for a global setting to enable “Override Tab Content”
   by default to our feature request list. This is a great idea, especially for 
   users managing products via the API, and we’ll definitely consider it for a future
   update.
 * In the meantime, I’ll check with our development team to see if there’s a possible
   workaround we can offer to help with your current workflow. I’ll follow up as
   soon as I have more information.
 * We’ll also let you know once this feature is officially added to the plugin.
 * Thanks again for your support, and feel free to reach out if you need anything
   else! I’ll keep you posted.
 * Best regards,
   Adrian

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for waiting! Our Tier 3 Dev Support team has provided a workaround.
 * The **“Override the default content”** checkbox is stored as metadata with the
   following format:
   `_wpt_override_{tab key}` where `{tab key}` refers to the global
   tab key (e.g., `wpt-12` – [screenshot](https://share.zight.com/kpurvrWG)).
 * The value of this metadata will be:
    - `yes` if the checkbox is **checked**
    - `no` if it is **unchecked**
 * This metadata is assigned to the **post ID**, which is the product ID. This should
   allow you to handle the override status correctly when importing via API. 
   I 
   hope this information helps. Please come back anytime if you have further questions.
   Best regards,Adrian
