Procedure If necessary, choose View→Show/Hide Data Panel or click the Show/Hide Data Panel button on the toolbar. Teamcenter opens the data pane. Click the Variants tab and select the structure line with the item revision that owns (stores) the option whose values you want to change. If you are unsure of the owning item, you can identify this from the Variant Rule dialog box. Expand the Options branch in the variant data tree. Select the option whose values you want to change. Teamcenter displays the allowed values in the Option dialog box. In the Option dialog box, do one of the following: Enter another allowed value and press the Enter key. Select the value and click – (minus button) to remove an allowed value from an option. Click Modify and Teamcenter updates the contents of the selected option. Click Save to save the changes.

Note Any variant data that references removed option values can no longer be set as these values are not available for selection. You typically create a new revision of the item if you need to preserve the historic data. You can set the PS_variant_value_protect preference to protect variant values from unauthorized modifications. If a value is obsolete but is still referenced by a variant rule, default, derived default, or variant condition, it is represented by a <?> icon.
