Otherwise, you will have to set a price for each combination variant of size and colour. Instead you should use a custom field of the table "item" for the colour selection: [ www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentatio...p-field-listing.html](http://www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentation/41-hikashop-field-listing.html) Or an option: [ www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentatio...ct-form.html#options](http://www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentation/integrated-documentation/19-hikashop-product-form.html#options) The no values found means that you didn't add the two characteristics at the same time. You would have to do that to make it work: 1. Delete all the variants of the product on the listing of variants that you can access via the button "manage variants" on the product edition screen. 2. Delete the characteristics of the product. 3. Save the product. 4. Add the characteristics again. 5. The system will regenerate all the variants automatically and you should be able to see the dropdowns properly on the front end.

OK, I set up a Custom Field called hair_colour and is a Single Dropdown. AHA! I see, it shows up on the FRONT END on items in the Categories I selected. Got it! Thank you.

There is an order column you can fill in the listing of options of each products. For custom fields, you can just create an unpublished category and attached it to the product as a second category and use it in your custom field. That way, the custom field will only display for that product.
