Edit Order Items while in Draft Status

    Hi,
    I would assume that the Order Status “Draft” will allow editing order items.
    Unfortunately, it seems like only “On Hold” and “Pending Payment” allows to edit items.

    It makes no sense for me why the “Draft” needs to return “This order is no longer editable.”

    Can anyone explain the reason behind?
    Would developers consider to unlock editing for “Draft” status?

    Hey there @bryansk, can you give us a little more information about the orders you’re editing? Orders are not able to be set to Draft by default; are you using a plugin of some sort to do that?

    For reference, here’s the page on order statuses: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/managing-orders/

    Hi,
    I have no idea where it comes from, Multisite but available on every WC enabled site, no additional plugin on my mind what could cause it.

    Here is the Select section of the code:

    `<blockquote><select id=”order_status” name=”order_status” class=”wc-enhanced-select”>
    <option value=”wc-pending” >Pending payment</option><option value=”wc-processing” >Processing</option><option value=”wc-on-hold” >On hold</option><option value=”wc-completed” >Completed</option><option value=”wc-cancelled” selected=’selected’>Cancelled</option><option value=”wc-refunded” >Refunded</option><option value=”wc-failed” >Failed</option><option value=”wc-checkout-draft” >Draft</option></blockquote><blockquote>`

    @bryansk thanks for clarifying there. The wc-checkout-draft status is unique to the WooCommerce Checkout Block, which is still experimental and not yet part of the core WooCommerce plugin. The Draft status helps reserve stock for products that are added to the cart, and Draft orders are cleaned up every 24 hours currently.

    If you’d like to see Draft orders editable, consider adding your idea to the Ideas Board here at this page, where developers look for ideas to implement.

    @tijosh Thank you for clarifying. Makes sense.
    I will post my idea as you suggested.
    Thank’s for your time – saves my time too!
