Deleting product variant creates a "ghost"

[dslove]

Hi,
Deleting a multivariant has removed the child product itself, but not the variant from the Parent product. Also, now it is impossible to save any changes to the parent product:

Error
vmError: VmTable #__virtuemart_products_el_gr Check not passed. Neither slug nor obligatory value at product_name for auto slug creation is given 1087
vmError: You are not an administrator or the correct vendor, storing of product cancelled

In the attachment you can see the "ghost" of the variant. I cannot find this anywhere in the database to try and remove it manually. I have cleaned website & browser cache multiple times but without any success.

Joomla 3.6.5
VM 3.0.18.6
PHP 5.6.21
MySQL 5.6.34

Any suggestions as to where in the database should I look to remove the "ghost" variant?

It has been a full month we have this issue. Should I purchase a membership to have this looked into?

Do a backup and try the last beta release.
I think that the code is missing and don't check about this, perhaps some dev have added it since?
Another solution is perhaps to remove the multivariant custom field and save you product and readd multivariant  annd all  the variant again.

I have the same issue as dslove.

I have big problems to understand this. "Deleting a multivariant " means for me, you removed the customfield "Multivariant" from the parent. But I think you mean, that you deleted the child, right? The deleted child is still listed in the multivariant of the parent. Storing the parent should automatically remove the ghost variant.

As your attachment shows, there are no names for the product, so it tries to store the non existing product with an empty name.

Thank you, found the error, fixed.

What was the fix? I am having this issue as well.

Thanks!
