First attribute added to variable product name

    I have variable products with multiple attributes.

    In the cart / mini-cart / checkout, this formerly listed each product with its attributes underneath. Now the first attribute is appended to the product title and the remaining attributes are listed below (as if the first attribute is somehow special or magic).

    Is this intentional? Possible to revert to old behavior?

    Thanks. Otherwise WC3 looks great.

    I’ve figured out this is an intentional change in 3.0 … I’ve found where product variations have their titles mangled and where output of variable attributes is suppressed when they’re already present in the mangled product name.

    Unfortunately the display isn’t subject to hooks or filters so you’re stuck with the builtin mangling algorithm (‘Parent-name – Attribute-name: Attribute-value’) when it might work a lot better for some folks in another way. In some stores it would read a lot cleaner without the Attribute-name in the mangled title, for example. Since the DB is updated with the mangled names I don’t think there’s a way around this change … or rather the change will frustrate future WC upgrades.

    Please let me know if I’m wrong or if there are strategies I’m not considering. I’m not that familiar with the source code (but a lot more familiar now haha) so I don’t want to say this change is a bummer if it’s optional.
