Re: upgrade radial addons for existing products?

This is not easy to achieve in ZC, because the current programming does not facilitate dependant attributes. (the options offered in attribute B is dependant on what the user selected for attribute A).

You could probably be creative with how you configure the attributes to achieve some representation of the radial add-ons, but with computer hardware you do face a challenge, because sometimes the selection of one radial add-on may be influenced by other radial add-on choices, eg:

You can only have Hard-drive "ABC" if you previously chose Motherboard "XYZ", as any other choice is incompatible...

Sadly, current zc can't do this.
