Ok thanks Linda - will keep that in my arsenal of upgrade things not to forget! lol

However.... we are still left with the core / vanilla 1.5.5 issue of not being allowed to add a text attribute to a product without first creating a "fake" non/text option name and value.

This happens when there are NO option names or values entered - which is the core settings. Guessing someone needs to revise that - otherwise people are not going to have a clue that they need to create that "fake" attribute in order to get a text attribute to work. This could be as simple as to just to include a "sample" option name and value in the core SQL. That would solve the issue as long as no one deletes that... has the page empty of attributes, then tries to enter a text attribute.

You should run that in the Tools ... Install SQL patches .. to bring them up to date on the configuration_group_id to switch from 0 to 6 ...
