Not sure if this is the best channel to report this.
There’s a bug in the Admin with the variant duplication. Even if you tell it to NOT duplicate the SKU, it does so:
Looks like this is related to the one you posted:
It’s in a similar area of the admin, but technically it’s a completely different problem.
In this case, it asks you whether you want to copy the SKU or not. And it copies the SKU even if you tell it not to.
The other issue I reported is a behaviour where the Admin copies a bunch of attributes of the variants, including barcode, when you’re merely adding new options. I don’t think the action of adding new options should automatically lead to new variants being created with copied attributes from the first variants. That side effect is uncorrelated and is not made clear. It does create some problems for merchants.
Hey @flavio-b - thanks for reaching out.
I’ve reproduced the behaviour you described, and we’re looking into it. I’ll follow up here when I have an update.
Thanks for reporting this!
Hey @flavio-b - we’ve shipped a fix for this.
I’ve retested and can no longer reproduce the SKU being copied when that option is unchecked. Let us know if for any reason you’re still seeing it.
Thanks, @Wes-Dev-Shopify, that’s very helpful. Confirmed this is working fine here now.
