I just noticed that when i create a new product template and then add i end up with duplicate of it.
This mean if i create a product name “mango”
Then go to product template to add it and save,
I then will have two mango showing on product template.
On product i have one but on variant i see two.

Hi, unfortunately I don’t understand the issue or question. When you create two variants with the same product (template), the product (template) has two product variants. HIH

I can’t reproduce. When I create a product (template) only one variant is created per default. See [https://demo6.6.tryton.org/#demo6.6/model/product.template/18;name=“Products”&views=[304%2C303]](https://demo6.6.tryton.org/#demo6.6/model/product.template/18;name=%22Products%22&views=%5B304%2C303%5D)
Only when I also press on [+] button in the variants menu, I get two variants: the default one and the additional.
So maybe you just need to fill the default variant on product template creation and save the product template.

Can’t reproduce. I did exactly as you say and it creates one template when I create a new template.
See [https://demo6.6.tryton.org/#demo6.6/model/product.template/19;name=“Products”&views=[304%2C303]](https://demo6.6.tryton.org/#demo6.6/model/product.template/19;name=%22Products%22&views=%5B304%2C303%5D)
When I choose from the existing templates, it doesn’t create a new template, but connects the variant with the existing template (which maybe already has a variant).

If you create a template from the product form, you will end up with 2 variants because the creation of a template create a variant by default. So you must delete the variant when creating the template in this case.
But this should no more happen since [Skip default products when template created from product (#9025) · Issues · Tryton / Tryton · GitLab](https://foss.heptapod.net/tryton/tryton/-/issues/9025).

What is the way to solve this or stop it from happening apart from stopping the use of product template to create product

Use a recent version of Tryton with the fix.
