Link variant images to names in product drop down menu

Does anyone know how to get the dropdown menu in the product details page to automatically update when you click on a variant image?

There isn't a built-in feature to update the variant dropdown when an image is clicked, but there is a feature where the main image will change when the user chooses a different variant on the dropdown. I suspect that someone has purchased a plugin or extension to achieve this.

We don't have an extension that can to this, but we do offer a Product Thumbnail Filter extension that hides all the thumbnails that don't relate to the selected variant, making it easier for users to choose. You'll find details of our extension here:

Thanks for your help @paul2009, but I've seen this work on other people's Squarespace pages, so I'm hoping there's code out there that I can use. I don't want to hide the other variant images, just update the dropdown as the images are selected. I sell yarn so most people will click on the image as opposed to the dropdown, unless they have a specific colour in mind and they already know the name.

Where have you seen this?

 @paul2009Try this: https://www.tanisfiberarts.com/products/purewashfingering 

When you click on the different images, the name in the drop down changes. 

Their site is using the Sync Product Variant Images plugin.

@paul2009 Thank you very  much Paul! I really appreciate the help!
