variations listing

I'm going to call @mr_lincoln for help since he made a flow chart, but anyone please feel free to post.

 

I have been working on a variation listing for the last hour and just can't get it to work.  I am getting the error message 'missing name in the variation specifics or variation specific sets'.

 

My variation is character.  I have 5 variations.  I have typed all of this in numerous times, added pictures, UPC codes, price, etc.  I still get the same error.  I would show it to you, but now I get the spinning circle of death and cannot even edit my draft.

 

HELP!

Re: variations listing

I used one of my old variation listings from before the new tool.  I FINALLY got it to work, but couldn't get it to work with creating a new listing.  What am I missing?  Variation wasn't even part of the flow.  Where is it hiding?  I have made this listing before, as it is a holiday item so I know the category supports it.

"...I have made this listing before, as it is a holiday item so I know the category supports it..."

 

Things change...are you sure it hasn't?

 

It certainly sounds like you know the 'ins and outs' of creating a variations listing. I have been able to create a new listing with minimal variations just the other day......I can only guess you are accidentally overlooking some obvious input box (that is what happens with me occasionally when i do repetitive work)

Hi @evry1nositswindy 

 

I have yet to actually create a listing with variations but played around with it a little the other day.  I am not quite sure I understand what you mean by your variation is "Character" ...

Re: variations listing

@monica-sells it finally worked so it was a variation category.  I think you are right...just missed something with the new format.  I just kept starting over.  It took 6 times!  I will revisit this listing in my sleep tonight!!

Re: variations listing

It is one of the preselected options.  I true  making it something else with no luck.  Finally left it with character and it worked.  I hated variation listings before!
