at the moment when creating associeted product it create random name like blue_652
in some applications and import export situation when using the sku you don't know to whom it belongs (in some magento form)
it will be nice to have automated SKU created in this format
(parent sku)+ (variation 1)+ (variation 2)
(parent sku)+ (Color)+ (Size)
so for shoes color blue size 8 it will be:
SKU-Blue-8 and so forth

We are going to implement such feature in future releases of Store Manager for Magento (Quarter 4 - 2013 or Quarter 1 - 2014).

I'm not sure we can implement such format for SKU (URL + Title) .
First of all - SKU length is 64 chars.
It's not good idea to store Product URL in SKU. :-(

No, I meant using the same pattern logic to create the URL and Name/Title for the Simple products also.

ie

(parent url)+(color)+(size)
(parent name)+(color)+(size)

say the parent configurable product is a 'Superman T-shirt' with urlkey = 'superman-tshirt'

I want to create Simple products with colour=black and size=M and L

simple products would have url=
'superman-tshirt-black-m'
'superman-tshirt-black-l'

titles/name would be =
'Superman T-shirt - Black - M'
'Superman T-shirt - Black - L'
