Abantecart have ability to create nested global attributes. For ex.
1. create global attribute with type "product option" with name "colors+sizes".
2. then create attribute with name "colors", choose "selectbox" as field type. You can set a few colors as values there. Also set parent attribute "colors+sizes"
3. do the same with sizes.
4. go to edit product page, choose tab options and use attrtibute "colors+sizes" as base . You will see all variants "colors+sizes" there.

Is there an automated way?
