Configurable product options don't set client product standard fields in DB/API

[Lone]

In our system we have setup a hosting product which has the following configurable options available for it as outlined in the setup article below under step 9:

 

http://docs.whmcs.com/Configurable_Package_Addon

 

* Disk Space (100MB, 200MB etc.)

* Bandwidth (2000MB, 3000MB etc.)

 

The options are working as expected when ordering and editing existing products for clients whereby we now have a drop down for the fields 'Disk Space' and 'Bandwidth'.

 

However, we cannot export these values via the export tool or access them easily via the API. Looking at the 'tblhosting' table shouldn't these options populate the below fields (which are also accessible via the API):

 

* disklimit

* bwlimit

 

We can access the values via the API but not via the above 'standard' fields and need to remember the ID for each possible option.

I've sent a ticket about this thread now and it can be closed or Ill update it with any findings.

Turns out these fields are only accessible via the API and won't be set to these columns in the table. However if you have the cron setup as below they will be updated from cPanel:

 

"The disklimit and bwlimit are only populated when you have the usage information being updated from your server. This is enabled in Setup -> Automation Settings under the "Miscellaneous" section."
