Product Options

[mhs]

Morning Guys,

Can anyone tell me if its possbile to duplicate a product option from one product to other products using the database.

I have 1444 new products with the same option, im sure you can appreciate how time consuming copying and pasting the option to those indiviually can be!!

Thanks

Tinkering that much directly with the database while technically possible (if you can work out the code needed) is very likely to end in disaster.

A cleaner approach might be to Export the products (which gives you a Hierarchical file). Look at that file and duplicate the code needed to add the new Attributes and Choices to extend the existing products (or create new ones). Re-import that new file and you may be done.

Note that there were posts recently complaining that export may mess up the order of Choices. See http://community.actinic.com/showthread.php?p=314701
