Had to manually delete variant records from database.")* Hi, Deleting a characteristic used in products is now something common ![:)](/media/kunena/emoticons/3.png ":)") We will change a bit the code to avoid displaying errors. However, we don't want to delete the variants of the products using that characteristic. It is preferable to let the user delete himself the variants he wants to delete, etc as they are linked to files, images, orders, etc. Deleting automatically everything which is remotely linked to a characteristic doesn't sound like a good idea ![:)](/media/kunena/emoticons/3.png ":)") Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzMtYnVnLXJlcG9ydC8zMzc2LWVycm9ycy13aGVuLWVkaXRpbmctY2hhcmFjdGVyaXN0aWNzLXZhcmlhbnRzP3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation.
