When creating a content test with variations of a component, the wrong data source might be set for the original variant when rendering has a data source other than the page item.
To resolve the issue, consider one of the following options:
- Upgrade Sitecore XP instance to Sitecore XP 10.0 or later.
- For Sitecore XP 9.3, download and install the cumulative hotfix available in KB1001332.
- For Sitecore XP 9.2, download and install the following hotfix found on this page: SC Hotfix 390411-1.zip
Be aware that the hotfix was built for a specific Sitecore XP version, and must not be installed on other Sitecore XP versions or in combination with other hotfixes. In case any other hotfixes have already been installed on certain Sitecore XP instances, send a request for a compatibility check to Sitecore Support.
Note that the ZIP file contents must be extracted to locate installation instructions and related files inside. The hotfixes must be installed on a CM instance and then synced with other instances using standard development practices.
