Filter product data fields instead of offer action

Could those li elements be looped through a filtered array?

In my case I have to remove some of those (currently using css). But this will also let developers hook in new li elements easier

Converting the tabs from do_action( 'woocommerce_product_write_panel_tabs' ) to a filter will cause the problems we had on the frontend, but I agree its worth it.

Pushing to 2.1

Maybe implement the array, and leave the do_action in there but add a depr notice?

[mikejolley]

The name of the action makes sense... and filters clash with actions of the same name. @coenjacobs

Actions don't interfere with filters, do they? I didn't think they did...

[mikejolley]

They did last time I tried. Try it :)

[Geczy]

You're right :(

In that case, just check if the hook is passing an array to the function or not. If it is, loop it, if it isn't, do nothing and display the raw HTML the plugins are hooking

The said issue seems to be backend related. Can someone please provide more information/steps to verify?

@gglobalstep There was a misunderstanding, the issue number related to another repository.
Others, please ignore.
