Missing availability schema

[WilkoMarketing]

Please give us a description of what happened

When the Yoast WooCommerce SEO plugin is activated, the schema markup for product availability stops functioning. This issue prevents the correct display of product availability status in search engine results, impacting the visibility and potentially the click-through rates of products.

To Reproduce

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

1. Install and activate WooCommerce.
2. Install and activate Yoast WooCommerce SEO plugin from Yoast WooCommerce SEO.
3. Add a product and set its availability status.
4. Check the source code or use a structured data testing tool to verify the schema markup for the product's availability.

Expected results

1. The schema for product availability should accurately reflect the availability status set in WooCommerce.

Actual results

1. The schema for product availability is missing or incorrect.

Hi @WilkoMarketing

Thanks for using the Yoast SEO plugin and also for creating the issue.

I tried to create a product page with the latest versions of WooCommerce and the Yoast WooCommerce SEO plugin and noticed that the availability schema is outputting correctly without any issues. See the screenshot: https://ibb.co/JpXMHpW from the Google Rich results testing tool. You can also see the test result here.

If you are mentioning a different issue, please share more details on how to reproduce it.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Hi @josevarghese thanks for your reply!
Could you please try it on a variable product where the new "ProductGroup" schema for variants are being generated?
Regards!
