featured_src is not read-only in current released API version

[theinventor]

In our testing we noticed we are able to use this field, and it's the correct way to set a featured image at this time.

Am I putting this in the right place?

@theinventor I'll check it later. thanks.

I just checked, for v2 is read-only.

[theinventor]

@claudiosmweb is current woocommerce versioned 2.5 using the v2 api or the v3?

In the current live version we are able to set this field.

The documentation is wrong

[claudiosanches]

It's read-only on v2 and v3 using WooCommerce 2.5.

See by yourself:

https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/blob/master/includes/api/class-wc-api-products.php#L1146

Only in one place it is possible to find featured_src... And where we are seeing is just the view/read context.

In the current live version we are able to set this field.

Show me how.

@claudiosmweb Ok, what we saw is when we apply a bunch of images - there is no featured image. When we set that field, a featured image is there.

I don't actually care enough to burden myself further - I was just trying to be helpful in pointing this out.

Impossible, because we do not use in absolutely nowhere when saving products or images.

This can only be happening if you are using a plugin that doing it for you.

This does not really help, since I'm saying it is not used to save images and you can not help me understand what is happening for.
