Update Woocommerce Product Description from Quick Edit

Question

I'm adding some features to the quck edit area of wordpress. I have everything working except updating post_content. I am able to update the meta values using update_post_meta, but the method I'm using to update post_content just causes the infinite spinning wheel.

function min_max_step_desc_quick_edit_save( $post_id, $post ){

    // check inlint edit nonce
    if ( ! wp_verify_nonce( $_POST[ '_inline_edit' ], 'inlineeditnonce' ) ) {
        return;
    }

    // update the price
    $min = ! empty( $_POST[ 'min' ] ) ? absint( $_POST[ 'min' ] ) : '';
    update_post_meta( $post_id, '_alg_wc_pq_min', $min );

    $max = ! empty( $_POST[ 'max' ] ) ? absint( $_POST[ 'max' ] ) : '';
    update_post_meta( $post_id, '_alg_wc_pq_max', $max );
    
    $step = ! empty( $_POST[ 'step' ] ) ? absint( $_POST[ 'step' ] ) : '';
    update_post_meta( $post_id, '_alg_wc_pq_step', $step );
    
    $desc = ! empty( $_POST[ 'desc' ] ) ? absint( $_POST[ 'desc' ] ) : '';
    $my_post = array();
        $my_post['ID'] = $post_id;
        $my_post['post_content'] = $desc;
        wp_update_post( $my_post );
}

As this is for WooCommerce Products Quick Edit, you can use the following instead:

// Save quick edit custom fields values
add_action( 'woocommerce_product_quick_edit_save', 'min_max_step_desc_quick_edit_save' );
function min_max_step_desc_quick_edit_save( $product ){
    $updated = false;

    if ( isset($_REQUEST['min']) ) {
        $product->update_meta_data('min', (!empty($_REQUEST['min']) ? intval($_REQUEST['min']) : ''));
        $updated = true;
    }

    if ( isset($_REQUEST['max']) ) {
        $product->update_meta_data('max', (!empty($_REQUEST['max']) ? intval($_REQUEST['max']) : ''));
        $updated = true;
    }

    if ( isset($_REQUEST['step']) ) {
        $product->update_meta_data('step', (!empty($_REQUEST['step']) ? intval($_REQUEST['step']) : ''));
        $updated = true;
    }


    // For the product description ("post_content")
    if ( isset($_REQUEST['description']) ) {
        $product->set_description(!empty($_REQUEST['description']) ? sanitize_text_field($_REQUEST['description']) : '');
        $updated = true;
    }

    // Save updated product data and metadata to database
    if ( $updated ) {
        $product->save(); // save product meta data
    }
}

It should work.
