How can I pre-select a product variant in the Dawn 2.0 theme?

I know you can add a variant ID to the URL argument for a product page. However, I can’t seem to get this to work for a Page. I’m playing with the new Dawn 2.0 theme and you can create templates which include a product. However, in the product picker it does not allow me to pre-select a variant.

This is an issue because I’m trying to direct users to a custom landing page after they fill out a quiz. The quiz would recommend a product – but size matter. If the user were to add to cart without selecting the right size (variant) it would lead to a mis-selected product.

Anyone know of a way to select a variant on a PAGE (not a product page), using the new 2.0 template (or fancy URL arguments?).

You would need to change the variant sort of the product itself, or customize the theme itself for that area of code.

An alternative though I haven’t seen if this works with dawn yes is if there’s an option picker try to use javascript to select the desired option when the /pages load.

That’s a bummer. I will look at options to submit an enhancement to either support variants in URL arguments on pages, or to support selecting the variant in the template editor. Total bummer.
