Best regards, Gerard")* Hi, The mass actions actually don't manage that. Actually you can add a characteristic to a product but not a value to a characteristic. For that you have to use the menu Products > Characteristics to add a value on the characteristic and then manage it in the products. Else you can remove the characteristics via the mass actions and add again the characteristics to the desired products to add the new extra data.

Best regards, Gerard")* Hi Xavier, I change de characteristic "kies maat" with a extra value "29". Than I delete in the artikel the old "kies maat" for the new one. In the frontend there is no change ![:(](/media/kunena/emoticons/22.png ":(") Is it also not posible to change characteristic this way? I hope you have a solution for it.

Best regards, Gerard")* Hi, It's possible. But you don't do it correctly. Either you first delete the variants and then delete the characteristic, save once the product, and then add again the characteristic to it so that it recreates automatically all the variants. Or you go in the manage variants area of your product and click on "new" to create the missing variant manually.
