Product variations all have same title?

I'm using Kickstart 2 and have created some variation types. I've added a product with four different variations. When I create each new variation under the variation's 'Variation title' it says 'Will be auto-generated when the form is saved.'

Then when I go to the product display, under the variations drop down all of the variations have the same name, see the screenshot below:

Don't understand this at all... the variation title should be editable with the variation, why not?

There are two main ways to solve this. If you are sure you want to edit that field then go to admin/structure/types , select 'Manage fields', un-check "Auto generate the product title" and save. That will give you an editable field.

However, if you have variations set up and are using the taxonomy then the auto-generated titles are hugely useful & a big time saver. You could consider setting up those taxonomy terms to use as options instead - then your variation titles will be auto-generated and could save you a lot of redundant typing :)

Thank you very much for your help! I solved this the first way you suggested by going to content types > manage fields > unchecking "auto generate the product title". I'm really greatful so thank you.

thx for the tip! while i was trying to figure this out I found another way. Create your addition products on the main product node (add new product). Then go to admin/commerce/products/variations and change the titles there, as you can see the variations by SKU value (which is unique).

In Commerce Kickstart 7.x-2.14, the option to 'Auto generate the product title' can be found on the field 'Product variations' at the path:

admin/structure/types/manage/[your-variation-type]/fields/field_product
