 * Hello,
 * Update: I have created a simple product to test, and the increase/decrease option
   is working well.
 * This problem just with variable products.
 * Best regards

 * Hi [@billalben](https://wordpress.org/support/users/billalben/)
 * From your provided information, it seems that the issue you’re experiencing is
   related to bulk editing prices for variable products. While the bulk edit feature
   works well for simple products, it might not work as expected for variable products
   because each variation has its own price.
 * However, I’ve successfully replicated the issue you’re experiencing and have 
   promptly reported it to our development team. You can also subscribe to this 
   issue for further updates here: [https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/39611](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/39611).
 * At the time being, we can’t give you an estimated for when the team will look
   into or fix the issue, as bug reports are prioritized based on a few criteria.
 * Meanwhile, To bulk edit prices for variable products, you would need to go through
   each variation.
 * Here are the steps:
    1. Go to ‘Products’ and click on the variable product you want to edit.
    2. Scroll down to ‘Product Data’ and click on ‘Variations’.
    3. Select the variation you want to change the price for.
    4. Update the price.
    5. Click on ‘Save changes’.
 * Repeat these steps for each variation.
 * If you have a large number of variations and you find this process time-consuming,
   you might want to consider using a plugin that allows bulk editing of variable
   products. Several plugins can help with this, such as [Product Bulk Editor for WooCommerce](https://woocommerce.com/products/product-bulk-editor-for-woocommerce)
   or [Bulk Edit Products, Prices, and Attributes](https://woocommerce.com/products/bulk-edit-products-prices-and-attributes/).
 * I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any further questions or if
   there’s anything else I can assist you with.
 * Thanks!
