New field - Store Variant

This suggestion would not change the variation letter system.

 

I see it like Cover Artist, a field that could be indexed and provide support for consistency of data entry.

I'm not understanding the need for this.  What does this get you that the existing variant letter and variant number system doesn't do?

Okay, I obviously overthought how clear the intention was.  My suggestion would not decrease the number of variants, any more than the existence of the Cover Artist field does.

 

Let me grab two Item Descriptions...

 

Venomized #1/O, ID = Unknown Comics Variant Cover by Tyler Kirkham

Web of Venom: Wrath #1/C, ID = Unknown Comic Books C2E2 RVariant Cover by Stephanie Hans

 

They would both continue to be Variant O and Variant C.

They would both have Cover Artists of Tyler Kirkham and Stephanie Hans.

They would now also have Store Variants of Unknown Comics and Unknown Comic Books.

 

The direct benefit is, like with Cover Artist, you would be better able to detect alternate spellings.  And thus better able to reliably search by store variant.
