| When making an Omnimech, how does the "Create Variant" feature work? I tried to click it but it didn't do much.

It should just take you to a new create unit page where the information of the base unit is already filled in.
You'll note that after pushing create variant and confirming, that button disappears.

It takes the base chassis and opens it up to a omnipod config.
Once you hit the button and it loads the new page, you name the model (pod config designation: prime, A, etc), and the kit out the new variant. When you save, it will save as an entirely separate unit in the database.

| There seems to be a bug regarding the create variant feature. Everytime I click, it won't create the variant.

Which unit are you trying to create a variant for?

| Many. In fact, every time I try to put a picture. It suddenly deletes it even when I saved.

| Okay, I tried things out and I think the bug is somewhat fixed already.

Nothing has been updated on the code front. So let me ask a couple more questions.
1) When you click the 'Create Variant' button, do you get the prompt asking:
"You are about to create a variant for this BattleMech unit. Doing so will overwrite all data currently present in the design editor.
Are you sure you would like to continue with creating a variant?"
2) After clicking Yes, does the value in the Model field get removed (used to be [BASE] but should now be blank)?

| Only on certain omnimechs. However, on another it kept refusing.

It would help if you'd say which ones it's not working on.

| I think it happened when I tried to do a Karhu and OmniMarauder.
