For some reason, the discounts dialog doesn't show on my product pages of items from a subcategory where the discount is applied the to top level category. The discounts do get applied like they should but the product page doesn't inform consumers that their is a discount available.
If I put the product in the main category, the dialog shows like it should.
Let me illustrate:
I have a top level category; Workwear with subcategories for Pants, Shirts, Shoes, etc. Products are placed in their respective categories and the discount is applied to the main top level category; Workwear, like it should be.
The discount is applied correctly to all products in the subcategories. It's just that the discount dialog widget doesn't display.When a discount is applied to a Category, then all of it's products in that Category and it's sub-categories are eligible to receive the discount. These items are totaled to determine the discounted amount.
It must be a bug, because it just doesn't make sense.
