  1. Hi there!
    I was wondering if is possible to show only the selected variant’s pictures in the modal view when you click (+) icon to zoom the product pictures.
    In my case I set:
    * show Only Selected Variant Images on variant pils click
    * show only selected variant images when page is initially loaded
    However when I click “zoom” and the modal opes I can see all the pictures.
    Could you help me please?
    Thanks a lot!
