Stockable Variants Child Limit

[solnet]

I can not create more than 100 child variants (stockable) on a parent product. When I reach 100 I can no longer edit the parent in the VM admin GUI and have to resort to the database directly to make any text changes. Upon saving the admin interface just dumps me back to the VM control panel. Anyone found a workaround for this?

note: I have altered the custom_param field to handle more than the 12800 limit. This is cutting off at exactly 100 children in more than 1 parent.

Hi
If i remember the core product model has a limit for childs.
Perhaps this is why you cannot have more then 100 childs.
you have $maxNumber = VmConfig::get ('absMaxProducts', 700); perhaps this ? but strange is this is 700 and not 100
