Updating existing subscriptions - Bulk Edit Subscriptions #188

Closed MRVerv closed 5 years ago

MRVerv commented 6 years ago

For a project it would be useful if we could update existing subscriptions by including an existing subscription_id value in the imported CSV. Unfortunately, it appears that the WooCommerce Subscriptions Importer plugin currently doesn't support this functionality. In issue #163 you mentioned, in an answer to a similar request, that you hope to eventually add "bulk edit" functionality to Subscriptions to provide a UI for modifying subscriptions in bulk. You couldn't provide an ETA for this at that time, but that was a year ago. Do you have any updates for us on whether there are plans to implement mass updating of subscriptions, either through importing CSV-files with existing subscription_id values, or through an UI for bulk editing? Or do you know of anyone else working on similar functionality (perhaps because it is required for their own projects)?

I want to add it, but it's not on our roadmap atm.

We keep an eye on the Idea requesting bulk edits, and it has almost 200 votes now, so it's very likely to be added to our roadmap soon. We will look at our roadmap after 2.3's release (in the coming months) and that's likely when it would be added. It would still take months or longer to add though, given the backlog of existing issues, features and other work we have.

Or do you know of anyone else working on similar functionality (perhaps because it is required for their own projects)?

No, but I would like to know of them if you know any.

I'm closing this Issue, as it is no longer planned for this extension.

Instead, we now recommend using AutomateWoo and its Subscription Add-on to bulk edit subscriptions.

We've already published a guide with instructions for bulk updating prices. We will publish more documentation for updating other subscription data in future.
