common or shared options for all products (in certain category)

I have 100k ebooks for download, I want to add a 'shipping disk' option for every product without create 100k options for every product, can I do it only once and automatically applied to all the products? It looks need modify the php page for me.

thanks for your reply.:smile:

I assume that these are in a category or several categories??

Add as an attribute to one and use the "copy to category" function

yes, it is one way, but also will insert big records to database. In my opinion, this should be a common attributes applied to every products, so they should only one present necessary, actually we have to duplicate attributes for each products, not make sense to me.

Keywords: shared attributes zen cart group product

This is the way it is coded....should not be "big records" at all and will function as designed rapidly if you are on a server that is setup for Zencart

no, if the product is 100K, options is one, then the DB records will be 100K entry, it will significantly cause update database harder, and some hosts has limited on mysql db size.
