 * When using “Copy to a new draft” I’d like to exclude a certain postmeta field.
   Is that possible? In my case woocommerce_waitlist from [https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-waitlist/](https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-waitlist/)

 * Solved.
 * add_filter(
    ‘woocommerce_duplicate_product_exclude_meta’, function ( $exclude_meta){
   $exclude_meta[] = ‘woocommerce_waitlist’; return $exclude_meta; });
