Bugs With Variations

    Just thought I’d point out some bugs (or un-expected behaviour):
    – If you have the Merge = Yes and then load some variations you’ll find it doesn’t work – you have to put Merge = No. Took me hours to find this 🙂
    – When loading variations, you can’t sent post status, meaning all your variation products go straight to published

    Finally, not a bug but a nice to have:
    The variations layout is quite cumbersome – It’d be nice to be able to pipe-delimeter a single row with the values rather than 1 row per variation name

    Otherwise, thanks for the good work!

    Hi there,

    Can you post a row they way you like? I am curious to see how it could be better.

    Something like this:

    sku,variations,var_size,var_colour
    mySKU,size|colour,s|m|l|xl|xxl,red|blue|green

    not sure if you need an SKU for every variation type? thats actually something that I need to test later – i dont like how putting
    SKU1a,SKU1b,SKU1c etc. with a parent of SKU
    means that your product catalog ends up with 1 entry per variation, with a blank pic, no title etc. It’d be nicer if it was grouped

    every variations has it’s own price, stock, status, tax class etc. So you have to put a lot of information in a few fields.

    And you need the sku of a variations to update the stock or price when you merge products.

    So, if I have 1 SKU for item “pants”, say SKU1, and I don’t use different SKU’s for the sizes or colours – can I produce a CSV that says

    SKU, parent, color, other columns…
    SKU1, SKU1, red, ….
    SKU1, SKU1, green, ….
    SKU1, SKU1, black, ….

    or does a variation HAVE to have its own sku (I dont manage stock qty’s or different tax’s)
