Problem with stock status

The screenshots indicate that everything is working as expected ??

“Manage Stock” means that you’ll be setting the exact inventory count for that item. If it’s a positive number, it means it’s in-stock by default. If it’s zero or negative, it’s out of stock.

The stock status only comes into play when “Manage Stock” is not selected and is more of a general message as to whether something is available or not.
