Hello, Can EP4 create linked products? What is the best method?

Thanks

Yes.

In part from the instructions:

Also note that if you enter the same products_model twice, the latest (last) record
entry will over-write any previous entry. The exception here is if you enter a different category; this will result in a linked
product. This means that if two rows of data have the same v_products_model data with only a difference of the category name,
then the product will appear in both categories and a change to the data in one entry will appear in the other category. See the
previous sentence about effect of two products having the same products_model identifier.

Basically, whatever is used to "uniquely" identify the product has a category different than the original or an existing category will cause a linked version to be created. Further because rows are processed sequentially, the last row of data for that "unique" product will become the primary data for the entire product wherever it is shown/stored.
