I still miss the way to easily highlight lines when picking items for an order. Say you have 20 items to get from different places. It's great if you can see the progress just by clicking the lines you've picked so far. Makes sense?

Maybe you can create a separate issue just for a highlighting function as this has got nothing to do with stock management?
Otherwise there are several plugins for picking items and creating picking lists.

See #21754 (comment)

Having lines that highlight on click will likely cause confusion as to what they are doing or what is happening. @ben72 Sounds like a potential extension, marking items as picked in a way that persists across page loads. Could be line item meta data.

@windsorraw Ill reply in the issue.

I really like these changes. Great work! FYI I think this PR covers #22107 as well.

@mikejolley Sounds reasonable if few people use it like that. I'm just reacting as features I use go away..

@mikejolley just wondering, would it possible to maybe include product exchange with this new way of editing order lines?

E.g. customer orders blue socks, shop runs out of blue socks and asks customer if red socks are ok.
Customer approves, now the shop owner has to delete the blue socks and add red socks in the same quantity and so on...would be a lot easier if one could just switch the product.

@mikejolley oh and one more thing which disappeared with removing the line selection:
In case we have to delete multiple products from the order, it's quite a task as we have to delete each single line by itself, one can't select multiple rows! Maybe some kind of multiple selection function could be added back again.

@mikejolley Nice job. Just wondering if the DELETED, on item 1, includes trashed orders or it would be just for permanent deleted orders.

*Edit: Just realized that you meant deleted products from the orders. Should products also be restocked when moving to trash orders?

Interesting. For what it's worth I too really miss the hilighted line feature. I found it really useful.

Would this work for say, lost orders whereby you need to resend in full?
You'd need to mark the stock levels down, but not adjust the order $value

Before the update you could select multiple items and click a single button to increase or reduce stock. This was also useful for exchanges (which I've never found an easy way to do, but that's another conversation.. :)) or having to send out replacement items that were say faulty or damaged.

@gpadilha

Just realized that you meant deleted products from the orders. Should products also be restocked when moving to trash orders?

No, see that moving an order to trash doesn't only means that you want to restock all your products, sometimes is just to remove from your database.
So if you want to restock all products in an order, it's better of doing it inside the order.

@davidjean170

This is exactly what i need. Is this will be integrate in a future update of WooCommerce or in a plugin ?

Probably in WooCommerce 3.6.

Will this be available as a standalone release so we can get this fix without introducing new bugs from 3.6?

@davidlonguk Nope but feel free to copy paste from the PR and introduce new bugs yourself :p

This PR doesn't fix bugs, it's new functionality, thats why it wasn't added to a 3.5.x fix release.

We'll be tagging 3.6 in a few days. There are other fixes coming in 3.6 and performance enhancements you may also need. You're welcome to help beta test to ensure no new bugs exist a launch :)

@mikejolley :) I may well just do that. I see your point about it being new functionality but we are using it to resolve a problem introduced in 3.5 hence reference to bugs. Looks like our choices are to roll back, patch with this new feature or make our own solution so we will try copying your PR as our first choice.

Is there any way to prevent stock change on orders with specific order statuses? I'm reading through the merged commits but I don't see any hooks to change the new functionality.

For example, if an order had a custom status like quote I wouldn't want to change stock until the customer approves the quote (and we change its status to pending).

Do you already know how to fix it? Same problem here..

@LeonWesten We are going to be making our plugin that will restore previous behaviour (so there are stock Up/Down buttons ) as we need it for several of our actions that include disabling a line item but not an entire order so we don't have an order status change. If the community would find it useful we can make it publicly available but it's 6-8 weeks out.

Rather than make a plugin, why not create a PR that adds hooks to this code? If I have time this week, I'll see if I can draft up one.

Yes, please..

@tldawson That sounds great - I hope it is is accepted but I think that woo have plans to go in a different direction with the stock levels automatically changing when you add/remove line items from an order in a future update rather than going back to manual. We require manual as we have cases where line items remain but we need to increase stock.

I see no reason why they would reject a thoughtful PR that adds hooks to this code. Hooks are the heart of WordPress and Woocommerce's extensibility.

Is there already a solution for this problem?

Being able to click and (highlight) multiple items in the order and then increase or decrease stock is essential. Doing them one by one is tedious.
That makes managing orders take way more time and effort.
Sure, keep this feature, but bring the old one back too.

Who do I have to PAY to get the Reduce Stock & Increase Stock Buttons back in the order?
This is getting to the point of extortion. How much do you want to bring this simple necessary feature BACK?
Why was it removed in the first place?
