Understanding Attributes Controller 'Copy To'

[DiZZ]

Hi all,

I am just looking for some clarification on how the attributes 'Copy To Category' works. Currently I have 450 products with options set as:

1. Dropdown
2. Dropdown

But would like to update ALL products to have the new settings of:

1. Dropdown
2. Dropdown
3. Text

I would like to use the 'Copy To Category' function to copy the 3 options to all products, but am concerned that by using 'Copy To' it will re-add the 2 options that are already set, and thus the product will have 5 options!

Will the 'Ignore and add only new attributes' ensure that duplicate options are not added?

Hopefully I made that clear...

Back up your database first ...

Then when you run it, read the selections on how to make the copy for update or overwrite or delete etc.
