 * Hello,
 * The values won’t save when I use “Save Changes” button inside variations to save
   variation meta values. It was later figured out by me, that when I directly “
   update” product or Publish it, somehow the values got set. Not many people will
   be able to understand it, so I think you need to fix it.
 * All in all, this plugin is great add-on. Great work done !
 * However, I had a suggestion, how about instead of deducting amount from “Product
   level” stock, we reduce the exact same amount from the variables.
 * This way,
    1. you can “manage stock” for all the variable items 2. they go out
   of stock perfectly 3. No need to calculate product level stock OR the value to
   deduct (I am sure you know people will have to do that).
 * However, I rather suggest you just add another method of stock keeping (Deduct
   at product level OR Deduct at variable level)
 * Let me know;
 * Cheers

 * Another cool approach would be to re-calculate “stock status” of all variable
   products when the quantity is being reduced and mark them “out of stock” accordingly
   rather than showing them in stock and then telling the buyer the quantity is 
   not available.
 * I think this this trick might also work for the time being.
 * Say my product level stock is 5. One of my variable deducts amount 4. Others 
   stand at 1 & 2. When a variable with deductamount=4 is bought, the plugin will
   set the stock to 1, which means the products with deduct amount more than 1 are
   all marked out of stock.
 * again, when stock is “updated”, a hook will re-calculate the terms and accordingly
   mark these variable “In stock”.
 * How about that? I think this solution should be easy to implement on your existing
   solution.

 * Hello folks! I’m doing hard work to figure out how can I manage my stock from
   product variations, actualy SIZES – S, M, L, XL (thats my stock) and when we 
   sold an product with size M, woocommerce reduce from a total of M pieces for 
   all other products. Gotcha? 🙂
 * Can this plugin help me with this case? Any other tip?
 * Regards!
    Anderson.
