The system cannot automatically create them. If you want to pre import the characteristics and their values you can do like explained here: [ www.hikashop.com/forum/2-general-talk-ab...teristics.html#40387](http://www.hikashop.com/forum/2-general-talk-about-hikashop/40333-csv-import-of-custom-product-characteristics.html#40387) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzM3LWltcG9ydC1leHBvcnQtY3N2LXhscy84NjEwNzMtcHJvYmxlbS1pbXBvcnRpbmctY2hhcmFjdGVyaXN0aWMtdmFsdWVzP3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation.
