You probably don't need so many characteristics. If you have too much variants, you should consider using instead options: [ www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentatio...ct-form.html#options](http://www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentation/integrated-documentation/19-hikashop-product-form.html#options) or custom fields of the table "item": [ www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentatio...p-field-listing.html](http://www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentation/41-hikashop-field-listing.html) instead of characteristics (or a combination) The following user(s) said Thank You: [aston2204](/forum/user/21459-aston2204 "View aston2204's Profile") Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzQtaG93LXRvLzg0MDIxLWRpc2FibGUtYXV0b21hdGljLWNyZWF0aW9uLW9mLXByb2R1Y3Qtcy12YXJpYW50cz90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation.
