# Issue with variations

 * Hello,
 * I have an issue with my variations.
 * I have set up a variation on my Woocommerce store and the variation is shown 
   variations page (Products-Variations). All products use the same variation, however
   only few are tied to the variations when opening Produvts-Variations-One specific
   variation. The difference is also under each product, when modifing the product
   varations:

   [Screenshot of the variation linked to the store variations](https://prnt.sc/128y9qp)
 * What might be the issue here? Why some product variations are linked to the store
   variation I created beforehand and some are not, just a list separated with vertical
   line?
 * How doI amend that?

 * Hello,
 * When adding an attribute to a product, are you able to select a global attribute
   and click Add? [https://snipboard.io/ItXECD.jpg](https://snipboard.io/ItXECD.jpg)
   
   If “Custom product attribute” is selected, you’d have to manually create values,
   and those values are not linked to the global attribute values. You can read 
   more about variable products here: [https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/variable-product/](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/variable-product/)

 * Indeed, some attributes are not associated to the global product attribute and
   therefore variations are not associated (this must be because of the incorrect
   importing). How can I change that?

 * When I export the existing products I notice that some of the variations are 
   not global (zero whereas some are 1), thus, I believe, the issue. What would 
   be your suggestions how to modify the products in bulk and alter the variation
   to global?

 * Hi,
 * OK, in your CSV file, look for a product that is properly linked to global attributes.
   Since all your products use the same variation, you can copy and paste the values
   in attribute columns – e.g. Attribute 1 name, Attribute 1 value(s), Attribute
   1 visible and Attribute 1 global. And then, import the CSV file.
 * For more information regarding the built-in importer and exporter, please refer
   to this page: [https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/product-csv-importer-exporter/](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/product-csv-importer-exporter/)
