 * hi!
    I have a problem with variable products. I tried to insert a new product
   but, strangely, variation’s different codes are no more accepted (e.g. xxxxxyyy-
   blue for a blue t-shirt and xxxxxyyy-red for a red t-shirt)
 * now the product codes must be the same for all variations and this is quite strange
   since all my products have different sku for each variations and I guess many
   e-commerce work like that.
 * It looks like a bug or something like that, otherwise I guess the plugin will
   become useless for many e-commerce out there.
 * If you know more about this issue your help would be appreciated.
 * thanks
 * manuela

 * Where are you seeing this? I’m asking as that wasn’t part in a recent WooCommerce
   update and is counter to how SKU’s for variable products actually work.
 * More likely is that this might be caused by a 3rd party interference: Are you
   still experiencing the same issue after deactivating all of your plugins (except
   WooCommerce) and switching to the default Twenty Sixteen theme?
