Extending variations later

The following methods exist for extending existing variations with a new variation attribute:

Start the product variation assistant in the Variations tab. There you can click the Start product variation assistant link.
  1. Create a new variation attribute as described in step 1 of Product variation assistant, above.
  2. The existing variation products must also be assigned a value for the new attribute. In the next step, select the value that is to be used for the existing variations. After selection, click "Display variation products" to display the possible product variations.
  3. When the product list is displayed, continue as described in step 2 of Product variation assistant, above.
