Need to clone attributes onto other products

I have about 53 options to add, and I added them manually to one product, but I have 2 other products I want these options on and I don't want to have to add the attributes/options one at a time. Is there a way around doing it manually?

Thanks

I want add the Transferring Dealer option to two other products on the site.

Thanks

Re: Need to clone attributes onto other products

You can do this ...

Go to the Attributes Controllers for the Product that already has the 53 attributes ...

Click the button for the Copy to Product ...

Select the Product you want to copy the new attributes to ...

Select:
Ignore and add only new attributes

Click Copy ...

Now check the Attributes on the Product that you copied to ...

You should see the Original Attributes plus the new Attributes ...

NOTE: it is always a good idea to do a backup before using features that you are not familiar with ...
