Title: Problem with the "Create all child product possibilities" option
Post by: AnSit on May 23, 2025, 13:31:49 PM
Hello everyone!

Finally, a very useful and long-needed option (Create all child product possibilities) has appeared for creating all combinations of child products with one click, which saves a lot of time! But the problem is that I can't get it to work. I added only two parameters that contain three values. When you mark this option and save the product, only the first combination is created. I have already updated Joomla and VM to the latest versions.

Please tell me what the problem is, how to make this important option work correctly and create all combinations at once?

Dear developers, please answer, how can I solve this problem with the correct operation of this option? This is a very important function that saves a lot of time!

Developers, please answer at least something!

Users, tell me or does this option work properly for you?

I don't see that option.
( Could be me... :o ??? :-\ Where my classes? )

Can you post a screenshot?
What fields are you using?

Yes, here's a screenshot, please. This option is always and everywhere immediately when adding a multi-variant type field.

Okay... Thank you...

It seemed to work for me.*

- In the product list I have 9 additional children (3x3)
- In the parent product, under tab Custom Fields, below the blah blah of the Multi variant field I see a list of 10 products (1 parent + 9 children). Here's where I should set all the different variables.

Now it does say it's beta, so it may be buggy depending on VM version.

* My testVM says it's 4.4.6 eventhough I updated it to 4.4.10. But my testsite has more issues lateiy. I think it's time to do a clean test install and try that one.

PS: It also works in a clean J5.3.1/VM4.4.10...
(I know this does not help you, sorry.)

Thank you for your participation! You gave me the idea to update again and I tried on a test site versions of Joomla 5.3.1 and VirtueMart 4.2.18 11050 - the option worked!
It remains to understand what exactly the difference is between these versions in order to make this option work on the working site, since it is not yet possible to install updates on it.
