Looking at the Woocommerce documentation, very little is said about adding custom metadata. Apart from some key value addition that doesn't seem to relate to plugins.
I have a plugin called "gravity forms" which also has its own extensive REST Api, however I cannot work out how to automatically assign a particular gravity form to a product when I create it. (their rest api seems to deal primarily with managing the forms, not assigning them to products)
When I pull a specific product with an assigned gravity form it has this custom metadata:
"metadata": [...,{
{"id"=>24866,
"key"=>"_gravity_form_data",
"value"=>
{"id"=>"6",
"display_title"=>false,
"display_description"=>false,
"disable_woocommerce_price"=>"no",
"price_before"=>"",
"price_after"=>"",
"disable_calculations"=>"no",
"disable_label_subtotal"=>"no",
"disable_label_options"=>"no",
"disable_label_total"=>"no",
"disable_anchor"=>"no",
"label_subtotal"=>"Subtotal",
"label_options"=>"Options",
"label_total"=>"Total",
"use_ajax"=>"no"}}]
however, when I try and autoamtically assign that metadata on product for example, as metadata: [{_gravity_form_data: { id: 6...}}], it doesn't automatically assign the gravity form to the product.
Question 1) what ways are there to automatically assign the gravity form to a product?
Question 2) if it can be done after product creation, how do I take the product id and assign that gravity form to it? Do i have to use a post creation hook - I'd prefer to stick primarily to REST.
Installed the WC API Custom Metadata Plugin, which meant I could pull a previously modified product with the new gravity form, but this will work for any metadata object. I could then edit my POST request with:
meta_data: [
{
key: "_gravity_form_data",
value: {
id: "6",
display_title: false,
display_description: false,
disable_woocommerce_price: "no",
price_before: "",
price_after: "",
disable_calculations: "no",
disable_label_subtotal: "no",
disable_label_options: "no",
disable_label_total: "no",
disable_anchor: "no",
label_subtotal: "Subtotal",
label_options: "Options",
label_total: "Total",
use_ajax: "no"
}
}
]
And it will automatically give it an ID and auto assign the gravity form to the product!
