I have an issue where I need to add the HSN Code for the product. For a simple product, the HSN code is displaying correctly. However, when generating an invoice for a variable product, it has two attributes: theme and HSN code. In the invoice, only the theme is being displayed, and the HSN code is not showing. How can I fix this using your plugin? I also have a paid subscription.
