Idea/problem for option

Feb 10 at 8:19 AM
Hello,

I am facing a problem, and because I am maybe not alone, I submit the idea as a possible improvement / new feature.
In my site, each product has two colors and for each color there are 20 possible choices.
If I want to add a color, I have to modify any of the products. It is pretty long and boring.
Would it not "interesting" we can create option as
independent object (like categories) , which products would be attached. While retaining the ability to create a specific option for each product.

I know that this problem can be partially managed by an export of the products, a mill (a program) and a reimport but it still pretty long.
What do you think about it.

Regards.
Antoine.

Hi Antoine,

Yes definitely. This is attribute management and is up for consideration for the eventual rewrite of the store.

For the current store the best way you can make repetitive options easier to manage is to create 'template' products with all the options already in place and then use the product copy button to create new products from those, rather than make them from scratch.
