Thank you in advance Whenever I add a product that has characteristics(product a) as an option to another product (product b) it doesn't give users the ability to not take the option and automatically adds both products to the cart. Is there a way to keep a no option without having to go through and create unpublished products just for the options. It just seems like a lot of work for something that is so standard across ecommerce websites.

Which is why we made it optional and you can add a specific value to the characteristic of the option product for that. Alternatively, you can also customize the option view file to add that : [ www.hikashop.com/forum/4-how-to/41110-op...t-with-variants.html](http://www.hikashop.com/forum/4-how-to/41110-option-product-with-variants.html) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzI2LXByb2R1Y3QtY2F0ZWdvcnktZGlzcGxheS84NzI2MzctcHJvZHVjdC1vcHRpb25zP3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation.
