I think that because there are a lot of element (too much ?) the script does not succeed the copy of the HTML, it is also possible that the processing of the page stopped or the script is not processed. It will be difficult to say without seeing the content HTML of the popup (too see if the content is right generated) and the browser javascript console (to see errors).

It says something like "generate to many variants" in bad german ![:)](/media/kunena/emoticons/8.png ":)"). This is not an urgent problem for me as the CSV import works flawlessly. My customer just can not add a product with the "color" characteristic manually. Maybe you can fix that issue within the next releases. - [ ![Bildschirmfoto_2014-11-20_um_15_12_42.png](/forum/attachment/20780) ](/forum/attachment/20780 "...m_15_12_42.png") [ ](/forum/attachment/20780?download=1 "...m_15_12_42.png") Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzI2LXByb2R1Y3QtY2F0ZWdvcnktZGlzcGxheS84NzI4MzItY2hhcmFjdGVyaXN0aWMtdmFsdWUtbGltaXRhdGlvbj90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[lionel75](/forum/user/11856-lionel75 "View lionel75's Profile")** - [![lionel75's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/11856-lionel75 "View lionel75's Profile") - [ Offline](/forum/user/11856-lionel75) Less More - Posts: 846 - Thank you received: 92 - - 11 years 11 months ago - 11 years 11 months ago [\#180538](#180538) by [lionel75](/forum/user/11856-lionel75 "View lionel75's Profile") Replied by *[lionel75](/forum/user/11856-lionel75 "View lionel75's Profile")* on topic *[Characteristic value limitation?](/forum/26-product-category-display/872832-characteristic-value-limitation#180538 "-- HikaShop version -- : 2.3.4 -- Joomla version -- : 3.3.6 -- PHP version -- : 5.5.12 -- Browser(s) name and version -- : Any -- Error-message(debug-mod must be tuned on) -- : None Hi.

Replace the code: Code: alertMessage.innerHTML = '".JText::sprintf('TOO_MANY_VARIANTS',$optionsLink,$customLink)."'; to: Code: alertMessage.innerHTML = '".str_replace("'","\'",str_replace("\'","'",JText::sprintf('TOO_MANY_VARIANTS',$optionsLink,$customLink)))."'; in the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/views/characteristic/view.html.php and that should fix the error even without fixing the translation file.
