New Feature: Subcategory support – when enabled, bulk assignment also updates products in subcategories that have no shipping class of their own. Subcategories with an existing shipping class assignment are always skipped.
New Feature: Confirmation prompt shown before processing, listing affected subcategory names, so no products are updated by surprise
New Feature: Parent category inheritance for new products – option to walk up to parent categories if a new product’s direct category has no shipping class assigned
New Feature: Hierarchical category dropdown – categories now display in parent → child tree format (with indentation) for easier navigation in large stores
New Feature: Optional shipping class column in the WooCommerce product categories table
Settings: New option added to enable/disable the categories table column (disabled by default)
Settings: Two new options added to the Settings page to control subcategory and parent inheritance behavior (both disabled by default to preserve existing behavior)
Improvement: JavaScript refactored to support subcategory confirmation flow before batch processing begins
Note: All new options are opt-in and disabled by default – existing behavior is unchanged unless you enable them
