Maybe the plugin writer will eventually look at this support thread.
I recommend that you use this one instead:

I feel like this is one of the greatest and almost essential addon features of zen-cart, but current state of this plugin module is messy and frustrating to say the least. There are way too many versions going around and shoddy implementations of the code that probably shouldn't have been done or put up in the plugin section, but regardless, it is what we are stuck with.

Creinold provided a very beta initial version where he integrated with another plugin (dynamic dropdowns). But dynamic dropdowns itself was also a very poor and beta release with a ton of bugs, which are still presenting themselves in the above SBA plugin link in its current state. I believe the single dropdown option and the multi dropdown are broken and are not practical to be used. Only sequential dropdowns is functional.

However, the above link I provided restores the ability to use radio button options.

I've also addressed most major bugs that have persisted with SBA in the past in the above release, most importantly, the RESTOCK items feature when deleting an order actually works.

It's generally agreed upon that checkboxes, files, and textbox attributes should be options that store owners can integrate into their product listings, but that they should not affect stock levels. I'm still investigating a viable solution to be able to make this ability functional.

As far as the dynamic dropdown bugs, I'll try to address those issues ASAP, and if I can't, then I will simply just rerelease a version of SBA that takes out the dynamic dropdowns completely. Also, I am going to integrate product attribute grids into SBA. Meanwhile, if you need a functional SBA, use the link I provided. I've tested it, and it's the version I use in my live store, so it works. Just be aware of the issues concerning dynamicdropdowns if that's the style of attributes you need to implement in your store.
