I know that some thread talk about similar request but where more oriented in the fact that the drop downs where show one by one, each time than the previous drop down received a value.

Thanks!")* Hello, I already have created characteristics totaling in 80K+ variants. Going back to the drawing board is not a suitable option for me. If I were to hire one of your developers to make custom javascript will they be able to make a global javascript code that identifies when a variant does not exist it can show out of stock? Or will they need to make a unique code for thousands of products and maintain this when the products variants are updated. I am very surprised Hikashop does not have a simple solution for this to allow the use of variants without custom coding. It seems it should be a fundamental feature right out of the box. Just about anyone creating a large shop would be running into this situation... Do you have any other suggestions or feedback? @PolishedGeek - feel free to add feedback too.

You can already use vairants and it already shows them as out of stock when they don't exist. There is nothing particular to do for that, it's out of the box. This thread is about dynamically updating the characteristic dropdowns on the product page so that the customer cannot select a non-existant variant. That indeed requires custom javascript. The code, if done properly, can be generic so that it will work even when you add new products, variants, characteristics, etc. PolishedGeek, like other developer partners of ours, has the knowledge to work on such project: [ www.hikashop.com/home/our-partners.html](https://www.hikashop.com/home/our-partners.html) Note also, that a simpler solution is to change the "characteristic selection method" to "list" in the HikaShop configuration in order to display oa list of only the existing variants on the product page. That way, you don't have to code anything. But maybe it won't suits your needs ?

So basically, I would like it so that I must select tin first, and when I do, the loop option would not show up on the drop down menu. Any help appreciated. Thanks!")* this is very sad that a commercial software is shipping broken features and advertising them as complete. this topic has been open already 3 rears and no attention has been given to it.

Something similar to this website: www.swstrings.com/product/strings/violin/GP-J56S Before I can select String, I must select Size first, so on so forth. I would like this because for my website (URL page with problem) I have five variants: steel-ball steel-loop aluminum-ball aluminum-loop tin-ball You can see that I don't have tin-loop as a variant. However, I can still select tin and loop as an option, but it will show up as free (though you cannot add to cart). So basically, I would like it so that I must select tin first, and when I do, the loop option would not show up on the drop down menu. Any help appreciated. Thanks!")* Hi, It's not a broken feature. You're just asking for something it doesn't do. And nowhere did we say that you can have dependant variants/characreristics. If you check our demo website on how the characteristics work you can see how it works: [ demo.hikashop.com/index.php/ja/hikashop/...with-characteristics](https://demo.hikashop.com/index.php/ja/hikashop/product-page/with-characteristics) And I did told you that we want to work on that capability next year. So it's not like we don't give any attention to that request. It's just that we didn't come around doing it yet. I'm sorry but I can't give you what we don't have yet.
