Any assistance will be greatly appreciated")* Hi Nicolas, Thanks for the prompt reply, I sell plants and there are various sizes that we sell them in but not all plants come all sizes, so some variants are applicable to certain products and others not. This means that all variants are valid, the just may not be valid for all products. Hope that made sense Many thanks Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzMtYnVnLXJlcG9ydC8xODczOC11bnB1Ymxpc2hlZC1jaGFyYWN0ZXJpc3RpY3MtZGlzcGxheWluZz90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")** - [![nicolas's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar63.png?1793428657)](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") - [ Away](/forum/user/63-nicolas) Less More - Posts: 86541 - Thank you received: 14304 - - 15 years 4 months ago [\#18745](#18745) by [nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") Replied by *[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")* on topic *[Re: Unpublished Characteristics Displaying](/forum/3-bug-report/18738-unpublished-characteristics-displaying#18745 "I have created a Characteristic "Size" and nested in this I have added various sizes.
