    Default mass creation of attributes?

    I have products with lots of attributes and I need to be able to copy attributes to different products and then edit those attributes, while leaving the originals alone.

    I am basically adding every version of the Bible as a category, then inside those categories are the New Testament and Old Testament as products. Then attached to each product is an attribute for each Bible book. Then attached to that is a downloadable file and price for each book.

    I would like to make the process of adding a new Bible version much quicker. It would make sense to enter the old testament attributes once and the new testament attributes once, then copy to all version of the bible, then change the option names and downloadable product filenames a bit and be done.

    Any suggestions? Does copying actually create a new attribute or just a relationship between the option name and product?

    It creates a "copy" and not a "link"

    If this is a one time thing then manually is the preferred method If there are new Bible's being created constantly then you can opt for the advanced/enhanced easy populate mod that allows attribute entries - The free version does not but the paid version does....
