New Custom Field's Value Not Copied from Template to Variant

Using ERPNext v15. Created a new Item and a Variant based on Attribute value. Then added a custom Data field (No Copy check box cleared) to the template. Then entered a value into this new field in the Template Item. Opening the Variant doesn’t show that value.

Documentation states:

Tip: Once an item template is created, when you update this template, all the variants are also updated accordingly.

Checked the “Item Variant Settings”: “Do not update variants on save” is cleared and the new field is not listed in the “Copy Fields to Variant” Fields table.

What am I missing here? Any help greatly appreciated!

You can use varient setting

Thanks, @msiam, for speedy reply! “Do not update variants on save” is cleared and the new field is not listed in the “Copy Fields to Variant” Fields table.

You can add the field

Stupid me, sure. Created another new field for the Template Item, added it to “Item Variant Settings" “Copy Fields to Variant” Fields table, but still doesn’t copy a value to Variant Item.

When creating new variant, it does copy all custom field values from the template. So, it’s as if the “Do not update variants on save” option under “Item Variant Settings" is checked, but it’s cleared.

Started a minimal development environment from scratch with all defaults and there variants are updated correctly.

Seems to have to do with the webshop app. As soon as that is installed in the site changes to a template are not copied to variants any more.

Opened Issue #62 for the webshop app.
