Title: Attributes and Options
Post by: sam on September 22, 2016, 07:16:45 AM
creating a site with approx 2000 products. All products have a set of options. There are 5 different sets of options. The options in a set never vary.
Is there a way, once set in Global Attributes or another method, that once assigned to a product, the individual options are automatically included without having to add each one individually?

example
Product A: Global Attribute "weight" :  Options: 1 lb, 2 lb, 3 lb,  4 lb  [all weights need displayed, these never alter.]
Product B: Global Attribute "Color" : Options:  Red, Green, Blue [all colors displayed,, never alter]

Hi Sam if you set up your options in global attributes then each time you add a product you can just add whichever of the global attributes are needed to each product. If you use produc clone it automatically adds them. Although it does look like it has only added the left hand side but when you press the plus on the righthand side as if you were going to manually add a attribute it brings up a dropdown menu where you just select each on no more manually imputing over and over. Hope this helps x.
