 * Hi, Looked through the rest of the support topics and couldn’t see anyone have
   a similar question.
 * Is it possible to add order meta for how many child orders there are? For Example:
   
   Let’s say you ordered 2 Shirts, 1 Sock, and 3 Pants. Assuming that the splitting
   is set to create child orders for each product. Each child would have this in
   the meta. Order #1001-1 META- Split 1/3
 * Order #1001-2
    META- Split 2/3
 * Order #1001-3
    META- Split 3/3
 * Thank you in advance!
 * Kind Regards,
    Tristan Jones

 * Dear Tristan,
 * There is a WooCommerce action hook “woocommerce_order_number” for which I am 
   using a callback function “wos_change_woocommerce_order_number”. Line 5264 in
   functions.php. I want you to have a look, maybe it will give you the answer. 
   Short answer is, we are managing the same thing in a different way. There is 
   a checkbox available on settings page “Mask Child Orders with a Sequential”. 
   Storing this information in order meta won’t work as deletion will require immediate
   update in other siblings as well. So we are doing this thing with runtime query.
   I hope you will understand.
 * Thanks,
    Fahad
