Unavailable Variants Bug

Technical Q&A

Topic summary

A bug exists in Dawn theme version 15.2.0 related to unavailable product variants.

The Issue:

  • When a product has multiple variants and one variant is deleted, selecting that unavailable variant doesn’t properly reflect its status.
  • Instead of displaying “unavailable,” the cart button continues to show “Add to Cart.”
  • When clicked, the system defaults to adding the first available variant rather than preventing the action or showing an error.

Current Status:
The issue remains unresolved with no responses or solutions provided yet.

I am using Dawn 15.2.0.

If you have a variant that is unavailable (create an item with multiple variants, delete one of the variants)

When you select that variant the cart button does not display unavailable it says add to cart and defaults to first available variant when adding to cart.
