Attributes selection field in Admin

When selecting attributes to add to a product in the "ADDING NEW ATTRIBUTES" section of the Attribute Controller, you can only see five Option Names and five Option Values at a time, which takes quite a bit of finding what one you're looking for when there are several hundred potential values! Whereabouts in the core code can I expand the height of those two fields so I can see, say, 10 option values without scrolling?
PS I've searched on this but all results are about the attribute options on the CUSTOMER page, not the Admin one!

The instructions say Insert Disk 3, but only two will fit...

Re: Attributes selection field in Admin

this module may help you with adding attribute to your product page .

http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&cPath=40_41&products_id=114

this module will display only option values that are related to option name , so you don't have to search for values among tons of value in the box .

Re: Attributes selection field in Admin

maybe you have 5 option value created for One option name ???

example : 5 open value ( colour ) can only be added to one option Name .... you can not mix different values with in one option name

Re: Attributes selection field in Admin

I dont understand what you wrote.
I see all the option values mixed in the list.
This module should separate them after choosing the Option name. Or not? :dontgetit

Re: Attributes selection field in Admin

Ok, now i installed it correctly and it works.
But i don't like it because it doesn't order the option values alphabetically. :no:

Re: Attributes selection field in Admin

Configuration > Product info

Products Info - Products Option Name Sort Order <<< set to 1
this will display option names alphabetically :smile:

Re: Attributes selection field in Admin

The problem is the option values, not the option names...
