In reply to Sarah. This is exactly what is happening to me. It is updating the value in the database and in the column, but I have to refresh the page for the quick edit field to get updated. Any fix for this?

Hi Shiba,
When opening a product (WooCommerce), you can choose for QUICK EDIT.
My client likes to have 2 extra fields *existing fields (found at EDIT, by the tab LINKED PRODUCTS).
• Upsells
• Cross-sells
Could you arrange this with a plugin or coding?
Regards, Ronald

In reply to Mark. This is a very long time away from your original comment, but did you ever work it out? I am stuck on the exact same thing four years on!

Great job on this tutorial! It worked perfectly with me. I’ve got make it work with ACF smoothly! 🙂 But I’m having problem on add more than one field to quick edit menu. The first field I’ve added is a text field that update the text field from ACF added to the CPT. It worked beautifully, showing the current value on the field and updating when changed. But, I have other field that is a selectbox. Its options are the ones set on the custom field settings. I’ve duplicated the code I’ve modified for the textbox and modified again to load select options on selectbox. When I add this second field, neither the textbox nor the selectbox works. The textbox doesn’t loads the current value and the selectbox doesn’t loads the list of options and doesn’t select the current selected option. Do you have any idea on how fix it? Thank you! 🙂

Okay it works, I have done something wrong 😛
But when saving metadata and clicking at the quick edit link the old value is shown in the quick edit field. Only after refreshing the page you can see the updated value.
Is there a way to update the values immediately after clicking “Update” (like when I change the status of a post for example)?

Hello, is this still working for you in WP 4.7.2?
For me, it doesn’t work correctly. Post meta is added to the quick edit and also saved, but if I then click again on the quick edit link, there is no value.
If it works on your blogs it must be my fault 😛 But maybe it is an incompatibility issue.

Thank you SO much for this very clear tutorial! Still works great (I’m using WP 4.4.2) and it was easy to follow along and modify to fit my particular custom field to be added.
