Why can't we have variations in chess puzzles?

for example if someone makes a puzzle that has two different mate in 4s why can't it be made to have both variations?

Puzzles can have variations:

(Look in "Move List")

If you don't like that format (I don't) then use a different option (I use "Game or sequence of moves").

It's just an improvement they could do

So, what you are attempting to say is that the puzzle interface should be able to accept more than one correct answer?

Ah, there's my mistake.

 

I thought you posted a question.

No, more than one move by the puzzle, I think. Like in the mate in 4 puzzle, you have 1 winning move, but there may be several different replies to that by black, and again you have a 1 winning move against each of them, etc.

I have no idea how that would work in a puzzle.
