Hi,
I have t-shirts with different sizes.
Some sizes are not in stock.
I can't find a way to manage the stock with the size variants.

I currently have my product and children's products, exemepl :
Women's T-shirt = parent
T-shirt woman 1 = child 1
T-shirt woman 2 = child 2
Etc.

These t-shirts all have sizes S / M / L / XL, which I made with a custom field type "Chain".

Thanks for help.

you ahve tu use multivariant or use generic variant and unpublish parent and set category in child 1, child 2
TO handel stock, you need 1 child per variant S / M / L / XL...

Stockable Custom Fields use child too.
So if you have not plenty of child/variants you can use Virtuemart core directly

I managed to solve my problem with the Virtuemart Multi variant.
I tried to understand how it all works with the Virtuemart doc (https://docs.virtuemart.net/tutorials/product-creation/221-multivariant.html), but frankly, it's very difficult to understand how it works just with the doc, which is barely one page long.
It's a pity that there are no more explanations and examples.

So I will explain here how to do what I did.

Goal : Create selection fields, with stock management, for T-shirts, of different colors, sizes and for men or women.

Steps to follow:
1. Create a parent product, example Fairy T-Shirt
2. Then create each variant as a child product, example: Fairy T-Shirt - Blue - Female - S / Fairy T-Shirt - Blue - Female - M / Fairy T-Shirt - Blue - Female - L / Fairy T-Shirt - Blue - Female - XL. Do the same for each variant of this T-shirt (color, size and gender).
3. Create a custom field Multiple Variant. Cart attribute => Yes / Cart option => Yes / Template position => According to your template / Save.
4. Go to the parent product, custom fields tab.
5. Choose the multiple variant field.
6. Delete the texts that are automatically displayed in the field next to the "Name" type.
Change the type in the drop down menu to "Use a custom label".
Rename the field to "Gender" and indicate in the text field, one per line, Female / Male.
7. Click on "new" (the small + sign) to add a tree structure.
8. Select "Use a custom label", name it "Color" and type the colors in the text field (one per line).
9. Repeat the operation for the sizes.
10. Save.
11. Select in front of each child product in the list the corresponding selection criteria, EXCEPT for the parent.
12. Save and close.
13. For each child, set the stock.
14. That's it!

You see, that is a documentation example, not too complicated to write.
