    Default Adding Multiple Attributes/Option Values at once

    I have 13 products, each in it's own category, and I want to add a drop-down list to choose from 150 different 'logos' that can be put on each product. Every product has the same list of 150 logos. Now, I created an option name titled 'Logos' and added 150 different Option Values under it.

    Must I go through every product/category and add each option value one by one?

    That is a heck of a lot of choices for someone to scroll through ...

    Have you considered breaking that up a bit?

    As to setting it up ... you can make 1 Product with all 150 attributes then copy those attributes to the other products or copy the attributes to a category of products from the Attributes Controller ...

    Yah, that's what I decided to do--take the time and apply each option individually to one product and then copy that over to all of the other products. Took some time, but no other options! Thanks

    It is possible to simply use a text field and have the user type in the option identifier, and then validate the input. How to do this is described here:

    help question Re: Adding Multiple Attributes/Option Values at once

    I've got several products that use the same attribute grouping (multiple fragrance choices), that I've broken down into 3 sections.

    Problem is, the way the attributes show on the screen is rather yuk
    Instead of a verticle column, I'd rather they be side by side. (Selection indicator above Dropdown box).

    Is this a simple tweak somewhere? I've been racking my brains looking...

    Cheers!

    Have you thought of listing the 150 logos (attributes) as the product and the actual product in the attribute drop down? This type of reverse logic has worked well for me with other shopping carts in the past....

    I like ProDesk's suggestion - this is the CafePress business model, where the logo is the product, and you select a tschotchke to put it on.
