Cannot rename Woocommerce affiliate product External Button text

Hi there. I’m trying to add Amazon affiliate products to my woocommerce store. Under the product data section after I’ve selected “external/affiliate product” from the dropdown menu and have added my affiliate URL, I’m trying to change the button text to something like “Buy on Amazon”. This is the button where it says “This text will be shown on the button linking to the external product.”

After renaming the button text and viewing my product, the button text still says “External Button”. It hasn’t changed to “Buy on Amazon” at all.

I’m using the Ocean WP theme and Elementor, but I haven’t added the new product in Elementor at all but have added it as a normal product post. Even if I try switching to editing in Elementor and adding the “single add to cart” widget from Elementor, it still doesn’t allow me to change the text from “External Button” to anything else.

I have tried this with other external URLs instead of Amazon, but it’s the same result. I have also tried checking in an Incognito window where it’s not cached, and even on other browswers. However, it’s still the same result.

This is very frustrating. It should be a very simple matter of just being able to change the text, but even that I can’t do. It means I can’t really display affiliate products in my store because all it will say on the button is “External Button”.

Is there something I’m doing wrong or is there a bug with the Woocommerce plugin perhaps?

Any help would be appreciated on this. Thanks.
