Feature request: purchase product in required multiple quantities

An acceptable solution is to have the Quantity auto-adjusted up or down to nearest multiple.

So I've been looking around to see if I can come up with a solution. I found a formula that will do the adjusting.

if (pkg_qty % o_pkg_qty != 0) {
                    pkg_qty = (Math.floor(pkg_qty / o_pkg_qty) + 1) * o_pkg_qty;
jQuery('#desc' + trid_num).append('<br/><div class="blueBox">Package qty is ' + o_pkg_qty + ', qty updated to ' + pkg_qty + '</span>');
jQuery('#qty' + trid_num).val(pkg_qty);

I think you'd set o_pkg_qty = to the number you want to order, then pkg_qty = to the minimum order quantity. What I haven't been able to work out is how to implement this in Exponent.

In my case this only needs to happen on products that have a minimum quantity value set. These products are only available as multiples of 5.

Could something like this work?

{$pkg_qty = $product->minimum_order_quantity}
{$o_pkg_qty = $orderItem->quantity}




{if $orderItem->quantity >= 5 && $product->minimum_order_quantity == 5} //I'm not sure what Exponent uses to store the quantity
    {if pkg_qty % o_pkg_qty != 0 }
        ceil(pkg_qty / o_pkg_qty) + 1) * o_pkg_qty
        {/if}
{/if}

How long until the new release? Is your approach currently in the development branch? I've got a bunch more products to include in the catalog yet, so the site's not ready to go live yet. However if there isn't a timeframe to implement this, I will have to switch to a different platform.

Yes these are 'parent' products.
