# Interactivity API: Variation options disabled

 * This issue is critical and currently blocks purchases on production stores.
 * There is already an open issue for this problem: [#63430](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/63430),
   but it has been open **for over a month without a fix**, and the problem affects
   real stores using the `woocommerce/add-to-cart-with-options` block.
 * I can confirm that the issue is broader than described.
 * If an attribute (including taxonomy-based attributes) contains non-ASCII characters,
   for example:
 * **“Ilość”** (Polish), all variation options become disabled.
   Options (e.g., “
   10 ml”, “150 ml”) are rendered but cannot be selected.
 * From debugging, `isOptionDisabled` is triggered for all options.
 * **Steps to reproduce:**
    1. Create a variable product
    2. Use an attribute (taxonomy) named **“Ilość”**
    3. Add variation values (e.g., “10 ml”, “150 ml”)
    4. Generate variations and set prices
    5. Open product page using `woocommerce/add-to-cart-with-options` block
 * **Actual result:**
   All variation options are disabled (unclickable): [https://prnt.sc/UkZAgS0KLXaP](https://prnt.sc/UkZAgS0KLXaP)
 * **Expected result:**
   Options should be selectable
 * **Note:**
 * This is not just about spaces — any diacritics (e.g., Polish characters like “
   ść”) trigger the issue.
   If possible, this **needs prioritization**, as it directly
   prevents purchases.
 * Best Regards,
   Vania

 * I was able to confirm that the issue is caused by character normalization.
 * As a quick test, I added the following workaround:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       add_filter( 'woocommerce_attribute_label', function( $label, $name, $product ) {	return remove_accents( $label );}, 10, 3 );
       ```
   
 * After applying this, variation options become selectable again and everything
   works as expected.
 * However, this is **not a valid solution**, since it modifies the displayed attribute
   labels (e.g., “Ilość” → “Ilosc”), which is not acceptable for production stores.
 * This confirms that the root cause is the mismatch between normalized (slugified)
   attribute names and human-readable labels when non-ASCII characters are involved.

 * Hi there!
 * Thank you for bringing this to our attention. There is already an existing issue
   report that occurs when the **attribute title** and **slug** are not identical.
   Currently, you are facing a similar issue when using specific characters like**“
   ść”** in the attribute title. In this case, the slug appears as simple characters
   like **“sc”**, which makes the title different from the slug, as shown in this
   screenshot: [https://go.screenpal.com/watch/cOevosnTw6g](https://go.screenpal.com/watch/cOevosnTw6g)
 * Here is the bug report for the attribute title and different slug issue: [https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/63794](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/63794)
 * I would suggest submitting a comment on this thread so you can receive updates
   directly from our developers.
 * I’m glad you were able to find a workaround. Please note that the issue only 
   appears with the **Add to Cart + Options (Beta) block**. If you replace it with
   the **standard Add to Cart + Options block**, the issue does not occur; however,
   the variable will appear in a dropdown.
 * Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
