[SOLVED] New Variations not present

Hi,

When you add a new value to a characteristic the corresponding variants are not added to the products using that characteristic.
The main reason for that is that there would be a high chance that this process would just end up crashing in the middle because too much data would have to be processed.
For example, suppose you have a thousands products each one with 2 characteristics (size and color) and each characteristic with 10 values. If you add a new color value, that means that the system has to add 10 new variants for each product in the same process. So that's 10000 entries to add to the hikashop_product and hikashop_variant table and that's just not possible on a normal server.
That's why you have to go into each product and add the new variants manually. You don't necessarily need to delete the characteristics and re-add them. You can alternatively click on the "manage variants" and use the "new" button there to add the new variants for the product.
