Bug: stock by product attributes in combination with 'back in stock warning'

Hi,

I have 2 product attributes: attr1 and attr1. attr2 has +10 euro more price as well. I have set control stock by product attributes.

First bug: on product attributes, if 'back in stock' is set, but stock = 0, and 'allow back in stock warning'...then no button to subscribe to is shown if that attribute attr1 is selected.

Second bug:
The other attr2 is selected, and stock = 0, but not 'back in stock' is set. Then customers are able to checkout..which should not since stock = 0 for that attr2.

What I do now as a work around, if there is no stock at all, set on product level, the stock control to 'stock of product' and set stock to 0 and allow backinstocksubscriptions. Now a stock warning is possible, not specific for the attribute, but is start. Not sure is email will be sent to subscriptions. If not, this is third bug.

However, help / assistance required to avoid second bug, since customers checkout something we cannot deliver.

Translation is not clear:

Dutch translation should be more clear as well:
admin.catalog.products.productvariantattributes.attributecombinations.fields.allowoutofstockorders --> Bestellingen toestaan indien 'niet op voorraad'?

admin.catalog.products.productvariantattributes.attributecombinations.fields.allowoutofstockorders.hint --> Een waarde die aangeeft of bestellingen geplaatst mogen worden indien er geen voorraad is.

This avoids that customers check out.

So only first bug is there...and translations might be better (also in English) --> enhancement.

Fix this on all product attributes (not allowing checkout if no stock present):

update [ProductVariantAttributeCombination]
set AllowOutOfStockOrders = 0
where AllowOutOfStockOrders = 1

Note that attribute combinations which you configured works only when you set "Manage inventory method" to "Track inventory by product attributes" (not to "Track inventory"). It's states on the  attribute combinations tab.

"Subscribe to back in stock subscription" option is even not available for product attributes combinations. If you set "Manage inventory method" to "Track inventory by product attributes", then "Allow back in stock subscriptions" field is hidden. It's just not supported for product attributes combinations.
