 * Hi all, I wondered if there was any solution to the issue I am having.
 * My products are all variable products which includes the description of the product
   which is fine but I need to list some of the products by type so I am using smart
   composite plugin and pulling the items from the variable listings.
 * The issue is that when viewing the composite products it will show the main description
   rather than pull the description from the variable product which I would like
   to display. Is there a way to change the description depending on what is selected
   in the drop down menu?

 * I have found some code i thought might solve the issue here in the forum but 
   it seems to be pulling the long description of the current product, how can I
   change this to short description of the variable?
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'wooco_product_description', 'your_wooco_product_description', 99, 2 );
       function your_wooco_product_description( $desc, $product ) {
       	if ( $product->is_type( 'variation' ) ) {
       		return '<div class="wooco-variation-desc">' . $product->get_description() . '</div>' . $desc;
       	}
   
       	return $desc;
       }
       ```
