    Hello,
    after the last update im facing a odd issue with one custom field i’ve added for my simple products / variations.

    From what i saw, when i set up a featured image for the product, the custom field gets reset, it’s empty although data has been set for that field (tech specs). This happens only when product gets updated, not when it’s a new published product.
    With the old version of Woocommerce i wasn’t having this issue, any clues on how can i fix this?

    Thank you!

    It may be your loop over the skus.

    $max_loop = max( array_keys( $_POST['variable_post_id'] ) );

for ( $i = 0; $i <= $max_loop; $i ++ ) {
// code here
}

    Try that, in case the ids of the variations are not in order.

    Still no luck find a fix, took a look around the class-wc-meta-box-product-data.php to see if i am missing something,
    and i’ve modified the

    if (!empty($_text_field[$i])) {
                update_post_meta($variation_id, '_text_field', ('' === $_text_field[$i]) ? '' : $_text_field[$i]);
            }

    So that on product update/edit the field wont get erased from the db untill i will find a permanent fix.

    One odd thing is that after saving/update the value of the custom field is returned on the frontend but in the backend is empty.

    Thanks for your help!
