This snippet will replace the existing post ID displayed in the WooCommerce product edit screen with the variation’s SKU if one exists.

I wrote this extender to more easily handle outputting observable arrays in row+column layout. Typically, when running a simple foreach loop to display the content of an observable array you’re forced to include the row+column logic within the view itself or you have to write additional helper functions in the view model.
