When you add a product it automatically creates a version with the product name as the version name and a SKU that is basicallySKU_17 (product ID) that version is not live so you still have to go toversions and click show on site. It should automatically make the version live to save us all some time.

We did look at this when originally writing this part of Kartris. The main issue is that we auto-create the single version for a single version product, but it gets created with zero price and an automatically created SKU (because we don't know what these should be at this point). If we set the version live immediately, this item would then be available on the site.

Since the user really has to edit the price and SKU before they want it showing on the site, the admin will have to go to the edit version page where the box to set the version live is.

Might think about something where if you go to edit these new version and make a change to the price or SKU we check the box for you client side. I think that is possible in javascript. It would address the hassle of having to manually check the box, while at the same time ensuring that a zero price version with auto SKU number doesn't go live as soon as you create its parent product.
