% discount on ONE attribute, not all

[CheapStairParts]

I have about 5 to 9 different colors are an item, each its own attribute. I want to apply a 20% discount to just ONE attribute.

You can't make it a special, cause it applies the 20% to everything on that product, every color, base price. etc.

The only way I can see to do this is create a new part for each item I want to discount, which is not an option, and ridiculous.


I know I can provide a negative price like " - $1.00" on an attribute, but not a % discount.

Is there anyway to do this?

You're right, attributes only work with value amounts, not percentages.

You're also right that discounts apply to the entire product.

So, you're right in your assumption that you have to set a negative value for the attribute to achieve the desired result.

As an aside, attributes really have to work with currency amounts, otherwise your attribute prices would be at the mercy of the price of the product. Your bookkeeper would not be pleased. :)
