Hello,
Your Linked Variations feature works very well and functions smoothly. However, I would like to suggest a few improvements that I believe could be implemented easily, even within a minor or interim update — without requiring a major release.
My Suggestions:
Category Support:
When creating Linked Variations, it can be confusing if multiple similar products share the same or similar names. Adding Linked Variation categories would make it easier to group and manage related products.
Product Selection Interface:
Currently, we can only select products by name. This can be confusing for similar titles. It would be very helpful to allow searching and selecting products using SKU and Product ID as well.
Product Archive Display (Most Important):
Linked Variations work perfectly on the single product page, but not on the shop/archive pages. Unlike native WooCommerce variations, the small preview badges such as “+2”, “+3 variations” do not appear under the product. This feature should be added for consistency. (swatch)
Main Product Assignment:
Each Linked Variation group should allow the selection of a main product. The same product should not be allowed to appear in multiple linked groups to avoid duplication or confusion.
Preview Link for Main Product:
After creating a Linked Variation, there should be a View link for the selected main product. This would serve as a quick preview and provide better management convenience.
