Copy short description

Hi @feijon,

When you mention “automatically copy the text and insert it into the “Product Description” field” do you mean while you’re typing the text in the Product short description tab you’d like the exact same text to appear in the Product long description?

I’m not sure why you’d want to do that since Product short description and Product long description have been implemented each with a different function.

However, if that’s what you would like to achieve, unfortunately, there’s no default option for that in WooCommerce, and customizing that would require a bit of additional coding. Custom coding goes beyond the scope of support we are able to provide in this forum.

If you do require more help with the actual coding, we’d recommend hiring a developer or one of the customization experts listed at https://woocommerce.com/customizations/.

Thanks.

Hi @feijon

I want to type the text normally in the Short Product Description and have everything copied later to the Product Description. So you don’t need to type twice.

Thank you for clarifying. However, as @rainfallnixfig mentioned, there isn’t a built-in way to automatically copy short description to long description.

One alternate option I can recommend (aside from customization) is using the CSV product importer exporter. You can export your products, copy&paste short description to long description, and import the file. That way, you can bulk-update long description without having to type twice for each product.
