 * I have a variable product in woocommerce with variations. What I want to do it
   duplicate the product many times and just change the title and description.
 * Is there a quick way to do this instead of manually duplicating? Is it possible
   to do this via CSV? I tried exporting the product in CSV but when you import 
   it it does not come as a variable product with the variations I created.
 * Appreciate any help

 * CSV should work.
 * But I also use this: [https://codecanyon.net/item/woocommerce-advanced-bulk-edit/8011417](https://codecanyon.net/item/woocommerce-advanced-bulk-edit/8011417)
 * You select the product, duplicate it as many times as you want then edit the 
   Product Name field, add an SKU and hit Save and you’re done.

 * What you describe is certainly possible with the default CSV exporter. There 
   is some detailed documentation here:
    [https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/product-csv-importer-exporter/](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/product-csv-importer-exporter/)
 * Details of the required column headings can be found here:
    [https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/wiki/Product-CSV-Import-Schema#csv-columns-and-formatting](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/wiki/Product-CSV-Import-Schema#csv-columns-and-formatting)
 * Basically, variations are imported using the same CSV but the `Type` column is
   set to `Variation` and the `Parent` column is set with the `ID` or SKU of the
   parent product.
 * I hope that helps you to figure it out.
    Feel free to get back to us if you have
   further questions. If you have already figured it out please feel free to mark
   this topic as resolved.
