I set up as suggested by dbltoe (post #2), and works fine.

"Problem" is that in the cart it displays the attributes quantities under the product column, and in the actual quantity column it displays 1.

Now I copied this snip to the quantity column, and it does display the attributes list (and quantities) in the quantity column as well.

<?php
if ($product['flagShowFixedQuantity']) {
echo $product['showFixedQuantityAmount'] . '' . $product['flagStockCheck'] . '' . $product['showMinUnits'];
} else {
echo $product['quantityField'] . '' . $product['flagStockCheck'] . '' . $product['showMinUnits'];
}
?>

<?php // FZ taken from product column to show in quantity column
echo $product['attributeHiddenField'];
if (isset($product['attributes']) && is_array($product['attributes'])) {
echo '<ul>';
foreach ($product['attributes'] as $option => $value) {
?>
<li>
<?php
echo $value['products_options_name'] . TEXT_OPTION_DIVIDER . nl2br($value['products_options_values_name']);
?>
</li>
<?php
}
echo '</ul>';
}
?>
?>

With the above it displays 1 (for the actual item), and the corresponding values for the given attributes i.e.

1
small - 0
medium -2
large -1

My question:
Is there a simple snip I can add to have only

small - 0
medium -2
large -1

basically an if/elseif/else situation
I tried changing the else with elseif, and adding else for the attributes, but the page goes blank, so obviously I am missing something.

The ideal would be to have quantity fields to update the attributes quantity like you would have with the single product, but maybe another time ... don't want to push my luck, for now just removing the 1 is a step forward. ;)

Thank you

Perhaps you are overthinking? Look at it as you have sold one set of boxes containing two medium and one large. Seems like the problem would be if it didn't tell you how many of each size.

As it is now, if the customer should order boxes twice, it keeps them separate.

Only drawback I see is if the customer wants to change the quantity of one size. They would have to delete the item and re-add.

Easily ;)

Trying to look at it from customer perspective, like they look at the quantity, and it says 1, whereas they ordered 3; but like you pointed out, I might be overthinking!

Not sure I understand what you are saying.

Yes, that is indeed the biggest limit.

Right now, if a customer orders the above 0,2,1 quantity, but then goes back and orders a 0,0,1 quantity to bring the total to 0,2,2, the shopping cart will show "two" product. One made of the original 0,2,1 sequence and the other as 0,0,1. If they go back and order an additional 0,0,1 quantity then that product combo would show as a quantity of 2 of the 0,0,1 grouping.

Got it thank you.
