I'm building a webshop for window-decorations, so I need a lot of characteristics (about 240 RAL colours, structured paint or not, etc...) So Hikashop is good with the custom fields to enter the dimensions and I think I understand the Characteristics with their variants.... But in my case the price does not change, I just need that selected info in the order. To create 1 product now, I need 480 variants (each RAL colour x Structured paint or not) Is there not another, smarter way to just add 'options' to a product without all the variants (that need to be clicked 1 by 1 in the Characteristics list)

Hi,

Instead of using a characteristic, configure a custom field of the table "item", but instead of selecting the type "text", use the type "single dropdown". That way, you can enter all the possible values in the custom field, and then, in each product the user will be able to use the dropdown of that custom field, like he would be with a characteristic.
