That will copy all the variants/prices/images data into a new product and you will then just have to change the name and the picture.

Think sgascotland may have come up against the same problem as me... If you create a product with say 10 variants for that product/characteristic, and then copy the product using the the copy button, it creates 10 variants with the previous name for the item code. This means that we need to change each one of those variant item codes individually to reflect the actual product it belongs to. As one person tried to cancel an order as they thought they were getting the wrong product when they looked at the code on the invoice ![:-(](/media/kunena/emoticons/22.png ":-(") Is there a way we could put an "update all variants" button which just renames the variants to the main product name after the copy, or easier still, could we update the variants attached to the copied product on the initial save after the copy :-)as the copy would have to be saved because of the new image/product name or other detail ![:-)](/media/kunena/emoticons/3.png ":-)") (a quick reflection just before sending this...the button would be a good option because if we changed the product name for any reason we could then change the variants to match ![:-)](/media/kunena/emoticons/3.png ":-)") ) Thanks Nicolas (or whoever may pick up this thread ![:-)](/media/kunena/emoticons/3.png ":-)") ) Ian - [ ![2012-11-23_130724.png](/forum/attachment/7157) ](/forum/attachment/7157 "...-23_130724.png") [ ](/forum/attachment/7157?download=1 "...-23_130724.png") Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzQtaG93LXRvLzY2OTk2LXZhcmlhdGlvbnM/dG1wbD1tYXJrZG93bg==) 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") - [ Offline](/forum/user/63-nicolas) Less More - Posts: 86320 - Thank you received: 14276 - - 13 years 11 months ago [\#78700](#78700) by [nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") Replied by *[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")* on topic *[Re: Variations](/forum/4-how-to/66996-variations#78700 "So I think i have it down i add variations for colour and size then I go into manage variations and add all the prices thats fine but it takes to long :woohoo: is there a faster way to do this maybe have a set price for small medium and large any then any colour. or can i edit more than one at a time :S")* Hi, If your variants have the same name. You should only put the name in the main product. The variants will pick up the main product name automatically. And when you copy the product, the variants will be copied with an empty name so if you change the name of the main product of the copy, the variants of that product will also use the new name automatically.

Nothing is impossible, but there is no option for that at the moment and that would be quite complex to add to the system.

And also if there are variants of cloth etc that have say 10 different colours, then it can become a bit tiring renaming each code.

For the modification of the main product code to be propagated to the variants, that's a lot more complex. You can always do it in the saveForm function of the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/product.php but that's quite complex to do and you need to load the variants, change their code and save them back yourself.
