Buggy Osc Or Broken Database?

[dialdin]

I'll do my best to explain this as clearly as possible.

When adding Options to Products using the osC management console, the

three necessary items are:

Option, Option Value, and Product to which the option will be applied.

Following is a sample of what I did:

Create a new Option

Create several Values for that Option

Pick a product, select the Option, and select the Option Value

 

The last step in selecting the Option Value is where the problem is.

The Option Value should only allow me to select Values that are assigned

to that Option but instead I see the ENTIRE list of all Option Values for every option.

 

This is an inconvenience as I only am starting to add products to my store

but I have roughly 10,000 products to add and probably 5,000 options so

this will become a BIG problem if I don't fix it.

 

Could this be a broken relation in the database or some osC bug that I can't fix?

 

Your assistance will be immensely appreciated.

 

Thank you.

check the contributions for attribute related plugins.

 

For instance the attribute sets can group attributes and speed up the process to a certain extend. Another method is to check the easy populate where you could upload products via a spreadsheet. I think there were discussion how to incorporate attributes for it.
