Well, in a sense it is; but before doing that you have to create those names and values. I understand that this is usually not the case of usual zen admins, and since is a bit unusual, that's why I asked. Usually you don't set same option values to different option names, but even different industries I can see that it could be the case.

Zen Cart even have an option to copy/delete options from an item to another (which I've never understood, and don't know even if it works), I do believe they should have done a copy all the values of one option to another...

I will try your suggestion and report.

Unfortunately. I just looked at the code, and it is setup to require a model number in order to step through the procedure to do an import for the basic attributes. As far as standard and such, well ideally the name of the option would be generic enough that it could be appplied to anyy product, but at the same time, the price difference for a gold looking ring compared to a silver one is likely to be far different than those of a gold picture frame compared to a silver one, so yes color availability may be the same, but prices would be different. This all of course would be made easier if a product existed to which the attributes could be applied even if the product was disabled.

It does point out also though that EP4 isn't quite as expansive as being able to handle attribute modification without associating with a product. Again, ideally one attribute name would be applicable to any product, and once associated (or in the spreadsheet) all details could be addressed applicable to that product.

BTW, I do believe all of the mechanics are present to support what you are wanting to do, but the haven't been organized to directly accomplish it. The export of what you are doing is available, so making mods to do what you want without creating a "dummy" product shouldn't really be too difficult.
