Relating products to child products

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.3.5
-- Joomla version -- : 3.3.6
-- PHP version -- : 5.3

First off, great product thanks!

When importing products via CSV you are able to specify the related products, which is great. However, in the CSV the related products can be child products of a parent, they import fine but don't show on the site.
I think this would be a very useful feature. Imagine you had a black sofa chair, the related items would be a black three seater and a black two seater. However, if the Back two seater was a child product of a white two seater this would not be possible. Or would it?
Many thanks.

Hello,
Are you products published ? does it have quantity ? Can you check that your imported products are correctly added to the "Related products" tab of your product configuration page.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. Yes all the products are published and they do have quantity. They work fine from the parent product but not its children.

It would be so useful to relate to a child product?

Many thanks!

HI,

I do understand as its a variant of the product. However, it would be useful to link to the master product with the variant required preselected.

Like I said originally; Imagine you had a black sofa chair, the related items would be a black three seater and a black two seater. However, if the Back two seater was a child product of a white two seater this would not be possible. So why can't it link to the white two seater sofa with he "Black two seater sofa" as the preselected characteristic?

Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply and suggested workaround.

Many thanks!
