I posted this question a few months back and never got a solution, and have seen other people post similar questions.

I have a clothing store that has items with size, and an optional monogram text box.

When I try to add a variant I am presented with 2 dropdown boxes as expected. I choose the size I want and choose ALL for my monogram attribute. Since the only option under monogram is TEXT the item appears out of stock unless someone puts text in the box.

I was thinking of the idea of adding some text in the box by default, like "none", but the monogram attribute adds an additional $10 to the cost of the item. I really need to be able to set stock independent of the monogram attribute. Is there a way to ignore a certain attribute, or in my case I would like to be able to ignore all text attributes in the stock.

Can anyone help me?
