How do I bulk add option values to option names?

Hi

How do I bulk add option values to option names?
For example
Colour Top: 30 choices
Colour Bottom: 30 choices (same as Colour Top)
Colour Left: 30 choices (same as Colour Top)
Colour Right: 30 choices (same as Colour Top)

After creating the option name for Colour Top and then manually making 30 attributes, how do I copy all these 30 attributes of Colour Top to Colour Bottom, Left and Right?

Re: How do I bulk add option values to option names?

Go to the Option Names Manager and create:
Color Top
Color Bottom
Color Left
Color Right

Go to the Options Values Manager and add all of the colors to:
Color Top

After all the Option Values colors are added, go back to the Option Names Manager and go to the bottom of the page and use the:

Copy ALL Option Values to another Option Name |

           All Option Values will be copied from one Option Name to another Option Name | 
           \[TABLE]
                                 Copy from Option Name: 

|
|
Copy All Option Values to Option Name:

|

[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]

For the Copy From Option Name, select Color Top
For the Copy ALL Option Values to Option Name, select Color Bottom

Repeat for the other Option Names ...

Thank you Ajeh! I knew there must be an option for this... just didn't know it is at the option name page.

Yes, a long time ago I ran into this issue for someone and thought it might be nice to build in a quick copier system into Zen Cart ...

Glad to hear it was able to help you out! :smile:
