I haven't been in too much of a hurry as I am struggling to even find suppliers that will sell to you without having a brick and mortar shop. I just want to be prepared once I'm ready to take that step and knowing it will function the way I want it to. Hiring a programmer isn't out of the question, but as it is on my home server and not accessible through the internet as I tinker with it, they would have to be local to be able to come program it. I don't know if there are any programmers anywhere located close enough to me to make this possible. It is also the issue of spending money on something that I feel I should be able to get working on my own. I'm just surprised that the functionality of the attributes has pretty much remained the same over so many years. Even the few that tried to improve it by a variants plugin (which seems to do exactly the same thing) haven't figured out a better way to fix an issue like this.
