Persisting purchased product variant features with Order/Invoice

[Karl Pitrich <ka...@lusini.com>]

Hi List,

it seems that information about the product variant that has been selected by the customer when ordering
is never persisted at the invoice or the order. Are we missing something here or is this a bug/unimplemented?

Has anyone has ever used variant products and can provide some insight on this issue?


Thanks, greetings,

 - Karl
