Special price not showing correct for in future discounts

[henk-hypershop]

Precoditions

• Magento 2.1.3
• NGINX

I have setup a configurable product with 3 simple products attached.

I would like to give the simple products a discount price, with a special price from date in the future. However, on the frontend the special price is shown. When i go to this product page, i can see that none of the simple products show the discount price.

This seems like an issue to. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Hi @veloraven,
Are there any plans to backport this fix?

@korostii - I just came across this fix so it hasn't been fixed yet in v. 2.1.7. I copied in the change from commit 1ab9b26 to vendor/magento/module-configurable-product/Pricing/Price/LowestPriceOptionsProvider.php and it worked for me.

@korostii You should not make changes in your vendor folder.

@batmike, @henk-hypershop,
Yes, please keep in mind everyone that patching vendor is not a robust solution, since the fixes you place this way will get discarded with the very next version of CE you update to, and you'll have to re-apply them all over again!
However, it still by far the fastest end the most low-effort way to go around these (unless it's either okay for you to wait a few months for the official release or you have a friendly neighborhood developer around which can make the override for you on module level).
