I want to add an extra option in the “stock status” part of a product. I never use backorders, but want to set some products in Pre-order state instead of in or out of stock.
When I pre-order normally, I add 100 to the stock, so they are as per Magento “in stock”.
After checking with my go-to developer, they said that there is no possibility to have another product state as in or out stock, and would love to add a third option to that pull down menu.
As for me, this sounds really simple to do, in practice this is not always the case, so I want to double-check if it really is not possible to “just add another option” to that pull down menu.
Nothing has to change, so basically a copy of “in stock”, but called “pre-order”, so I only have to change the status to in stock when the product arrives.
