# Variable Attributes not Being Inserted

 * When importing variable products, even when I set the attributes sizes to P|M
   |G, it’s only creating the sizes that exists in my csv.
 * Example, I’m importing a product that only has size P in my csv, but I want it
   to create M and G without stock, even when I don’t have it in the list.
 * It’s creating only size P and ignoring the rule P|M|G in attribute settings.
 * I’ve already set attributes to P|M|G in attributes settings and my variation 
   settings is:
    “All my variable products have SKUs or some other unique identifier.
   Each variation is linked to its parent with its parent’s SKU or other unique 
   identifier.”

 * Hi @an0nimo
 * You have to enable “Link all variations” in the “Attributes” tab to import pipe-
   separated variations: [https://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/woocommerce/variable-products/#linkallvariations](https://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/woocommerce/variable-products/#linkallvariations).

 * But if I enable “Link all variations” then I can’t use the “Variations” tab, 
   to link already existant variations with stock.
 * Products/variations and stock importation must be done separately?

 * That’s true, it’s not currently possible to manage individual variation stock
   when using “Link all variations”. You’d have to have separate rows in your import
   file for each variation in order to do that.

 * If you must use “Link all variations”, then yes, you could set up a separate 
   import that updates their stock after they’ve been created: [http://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/woocommerce/syncing-stock/](http://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/woocommerce/syncing-stock/).
