How to add attributes WITH their values (prices) to all products

Hi
I sell flowers online
People want to add a teddy bear or chocolates.

So i create

Add Chocolates? - No +$0
Add Chocolates? - Yes +$20

and another attribute

Add Teddy Bear? - No +$0
Add Teddy Bear? - Yes + $30

Now how do I copy that to all products? It seems i can do it but have to go back and add their values in individually for each product, am I right?

In other words the attributes price is the same for all products

Thanks

Re: How to add attributes WITH their values (prices) to all products

Sadly you cant copy attributes to every product, but you can copy them to the rest of the category.

So once you have done the attributes for 1 product in a category, scroll up to the top of the page (you should be on the attributes controller page) . You should see a button called 'Copy to category'

Hope thats a help, or a start

Re: How to add attributes WITH their values (prices) to all products

Thanks, yes its a start

But the thing is i already did one option manually accross the whole site. That was called UPGRADE and has different values for each product.

I just want to copy options ADD TEDDY BEAR and ADD CHOCOLATES accross the site. These 2 options have the same value for each product

So how can I copy 2 (out of the 3) options to other products in a category. I dont want to overwrite the UPGRADE option since I already did those and they have different values for each product.

Thanks

Make a Test Product and set to out of stock and add the Attributes you want with the proper amounts etc.

Now use this "test product" to make the copy for the Attributes to a given Product or Category of Products ...

NOTE: Backup your database before attempting this as you can make a real mess of things while getting use to these features ... :eek:
