# Attribute “Variation” for variations causes bugs

 * Hi, I have defined an attribute with name “Variation” and used that as a single
   variation criteria. The result leads that the first attribute in the list allways
   gets the “used for variation” ticked as well when saving and updating the product.
   If I set the attribute to something different than “Variation” it works. Using
   a different name is perfrectly fine, but I think it would help to get a warning
   or even block this term. Thanks, Mike

 * Hi there,
 * Thank you for reaching out!
 * I understand that on your site if an attribute with a name “Variation” is created–
   the “Used for variations” checkbox is automatically ticked after saving even 
   if it was un-ticked:

 * I was not able to replicate this behaviour on my test site. I’ve created an attribute
   with “Variation” as a name and the checkbox was not ticked automatically.
 * I’ve tested the same with both local and global attributes.
 * As a first step, please check if you are using the latest versions of WordPress
   and WooCommerce.
 * If that doesn’t help – I’d suggest testing if this behaviour is happening due
   to a plugin/theme conflict:

 * I hope this helps!

 * hi, many thanks. Actually this happened not on the Variation attribute, but on
   the first on the list. If I removed the first, it then ticked the second. It 
   happend when I copied a product with existing attributes and variaions and then
   I started to change on the new product. However, when I do a fresh product, I
   cannot replicate it. Maybe a it was just a special glitch. Thanks anyway, Michael
