    Hi,

    Personally I think it would be best not to add any label at all. People who care about SKU tracking are probably using real SKUs, know what SKU is, and they have them on their products.

    Adding any text to SKU field actually make things worse. Imagine values from Google analytics exported to Excel sheet and in every column their is just value (product name, price, …) but there is one columns where it’s “SKU: AB45657789” all the way down, repeated on every line. Value should be just value, not “label: value”.

    Adding option to the plugin and letting user choose? Probably good for backward compatibility to be sure that you are not breaking anything for anyone? But I really can’t imagine someone is using this field and yet relies on “SKU: ” being there.

    Anyway, in case you go “add an option” route, add 3 options for the label: SKU, ID, and NONE. (The last one obviously most important to me :))

    Thanks again for your great support and great plugin.

    Thanks for the quick reply. I’m not sure if I understand you correctly.

    Are you saying that you are adding that ‘SKU:’ string only in case when real SKUs are used?

    I think I understand the logic behind your implementation but I find it completely backwards. It’s a field for SKU labeled SKU. Shouldn’t you be adding ‘ID:’ string to the values instead (in cases when it’s NOT real SKU and ID has to be used)? Why add ‘SKU:’ string to SKU correctly placed in SKU field?

    I actually think it’s unnecessary to add any label at all. If shop owner doesn’t use SKUs, she simply doesn’t care about them at all and won’t be interesting in tracking them. For her it won’t matter if that content of that field is actually ID and not a real SKU.

    Splashingpixels, huge thank you! I can confirm that it works. I’ve never thought of that – partially because that damn field looks like disabled in the first place.

    Anyway, thanks again. Solution was dead simple. No changes in code, just type some SKU into parent product and variable SKUs will magically show up.
