Maybe a bad title, but I'll try to explain my self :P
We have some products, which each have some variants (size/color).
As default we can see that this is handled as 1 product in EcomProducts, and with a list of variant combinations, all good.
Now lets say we want to add some data to each variant option, in our case EAN. Since EAN is a result of model, size and color in combination we need it to be added to the variant combination.
We have tested this by first adding separate teaser texts on each variant combination, since that works out of the box. It looks like a good solution, until we saw what really happened behind the scenes. DW had created a new product for each product we did add custom teaser text for, and I guess this is "working as expected", but it did have some implications that was unfortunate.
First of all when we tried to use the "Promotion" module in Rapido, and tried to search for the correct product we got one record for each of the combinations with custom teaser text. It made it impossible to find the correct product, and it looked messy. Before the changes we got only one record, even though there was more variant options. And second of all we got the products listed multiple times in the product list.
My question would then be; is it possible to add something like EAN to a variant combination without haveing to create a whole new instance of the product?
