Hi, is there a way how to have for different Variant different attribute values?
Example : 
So for "TV Toshiba" I need to create ONLY 3 variants : Variant attributes are (SIZE) : 50", 60", 70". 
Connected corresponding values entered /used in filters for each variant I need for example is : El. Power (W)
1. 50" will have this El.Power=150W,
2. 60" will have this El.Power=225W
3. 70" will have this El.Power=275W
The attribute "El.Power" should not be used for "Variant creation" otherwise the no. of variants will be rising in LOGARITHMIC way (each product will have only 5-10variants, but each variant should have about 10-20connected parameters such as El.Power, Functions, Support for this and that, Output Type, Resolution, etc etc...)
Any solution for that?

It is tempting to use variants in that manner but dealing with prices of the products would actually be a worse problem than the exponential increase in variants. 
The rule I follow is not to use more than 2 variants attributes just because of that exponential increase in variants and the choice of the attributes should not be features that have a large price difference between themselves. So something like size is not ok but color, yes. Then just throw the most important features in the name and the rest in the description. For consistency sake, you can have a naming convention. For feature managenment there are other fields like tags and product categories in the ecommmerce module for example. Using this method would make you have a larger product template list

If all that dosen't sound interesting then there is a way to restrict the variant to only the attributes it has. https://www.odoo.com/documentation/16.0/applications/sales/sales/products_prices/products/variants.html

Hi Tony,
thanks for reply, well I tried to look at the issue from all angles, and if these 2 points are really crucial to me , then I dont see options now:
1. Allow portal users to Use filters, to filter and find what they need (All attributes :Colour, Lm output, CCT, Lx Intensity, CRI)
To keep the 2 products together (as VARIANTS), to keep the data entry to minimum

Example2 :
Product : LED bulb E27
Attribute to create VARIANTs will be ONLY : Colour = Warm White, Cold White
Now I need to add ONLY SPECIFIC attributes with SPECIFIC VALUES to ANY of the VARIANT to allow portal users to use filters , so they will see these filters/attributes :

Product Data entered :
1.LED BULB E27, colour=WARM White, Lm Output = 500Lm,CCT=2700K, CRI=82, Lx intensity=150Lx,  
2.LED BULB E27, colour=COLD White, Lm Output = 800Lm,CCT=5000K, CRI=78, Lx intensity=180Lx 

With these product Data entered I need the portal user to find this "LED BULB E27" WHEN he will use ANY single one from these filters :
Colour=ColdWhite
OR
Lm output=min. 700Lm 
OR 
CCT=min.4000K
OR 
Lx Intensity=min. 160Lx.

Any ideas? I am thinking fo some custom module, to split the Attributes into 3groups : 1.group of Attributes used to create VARIANTS (Colour=Cold WHite, Warm White)
2.group of ATTRIBUTES which values are common to ALL VARIANTS (Dimensions, Type of fitting (E27), El. power, etc)
3. Attributes which VALUES are SPECIFIC ONLY to 1 specific VARIANT and will be somehow linked to 1 VARIANT ONLY ( Lm output, CCT, Lx Intensity)
Any ideas how to approach to this in best way?
