Please note that the "add variants" allow you to generate several variants in the same time, by selecting all values you want to create.

One last question. Is there a way to change images based on the option chosen? For example, if I'm selling shirts in the colors red, blue, green, black and white, is it possible for the customer to select the color and the image on the product page automatically changes to that color?
