Thanks Ryne.
I agree that a cartridge setting for it would be overkill, maybe some
changes to cartridge to present it a different way would be nice but as
variation options are so subjective I totally see why it works the way that
it currently does.
In the end I just monkey patched it to remove the variation from the
product name. The code to do so was pretty simple, in my_shop/models.py:
# Monkey patching! This will override the name of the product in the cart to
# produce a version without the variant name, instead this will be shown
via the SKU field.
def product_variation_str(self):
"""
Display the option names and values for the variation.
"""
result = u"%s" % (str(self.product))
return result.strip()
ProductVariation.__str__ = product_variation_str
Not ideal but it works well enough.
