Changing the appointment order number does not reassign the appointment to the new order

[Former user]

When you edit an appointment, and change it's order number - it shows the new order on the appointment. But when you open orders the appointment is still assigned to the old order and the new one is empty.

This is intentional. Editing existing orders is not advised with WooCommerce platform, so you can track past purchases as they happened. For instance, when customer changes their address, name, VAT or product price changes, past orders won't change with it. Same goes with appointments.

However, you can add new appointments to existing orders as new appointments don't have previous orders attached to them and adding new order items won't break any old/new orders. You can alternatively change orders manually, just make sure you also change the old order, which appointment was attached to.

How can I change the order manually?

I tried: 1. I created an appointment with a new order. 2. Realised that it should be atteched to another order. 3. Changed the appointment order number. 4. Noticed that order details did not change.

Should I:

1. Create new order with appointment, that does not have a date/time? (Manual add appointment product to the order)
2. Change pre-existing appointment order numer to the new order?
3. Delete appointment product form the old order?

Let me know what you're trying to achieve and I'll be able to advise better. Are you trying to create a new order and a new appointment? New order, existing appointment? Let me know.

Add existing appointment to an existing order, but a different one than it was originally assigned to.
