Applying attributes to all products in category.

[goslingo]

thanks for replying kobra - I can't see where this option is on the Attributes Controller screen. I'm using version v1.3.6.???

See this image of the admin/catalog/attributes controller > opening page: Screen Image

Hi, sorry I was looking on the screen when no attributes had yet been applied to the product hence that option wasn't displayed.

So all I have to do is set up at least one product with all the attributes and then I can apply this to any category I have and it will update all the products in that category?? If so that's exactly what I need!

Thanks Kobra!

Yes, that should work... Except I am having a bit of trouble with it.

I have three categories I need to apply it to. when I copy to the first two categories, all is well. when I try to copy to the third category, every single time it gives me a 500 internal server error???

I've already raised my admin time-out settings, etc. So it's not that... what could be making it do that?

How many products in this last category?

[grayceworks]

about 250

I got to thinking about it after I posted, and thought that might be the issue...

This should not be an issue and I was just trying to get a feel for how much trouble it would be to find if there was a product that was causing this.

Try the copy to a single product in the category to few of these. Isuspect that there is maybe only one product that is causing the error
