Attributes HOW-TO

I looked at adding a download but I can only find for just a singe download! In the FAQ that is!

For multiple Downloads on a Product you might peek at this thread ...

Basically, this whole system is way to confusing and ambiguous, and not visually laid out very well.

And the prize for understatement of the year goes to... :)

Seriously, I've been at this 2 years, and I still have a question.
I need to apply a whole load of new colours to some new products, 25 in all.

I'm having one of my thick moments, 'cos I've searched this forum, read the faq and the wiki, and I've forgotten how to say "apply ALL option names from this one option name to this one product".

Somewhere way back in my head, I recally something about having to move all the products to be "mass attributed" into their own special temporary cat, deal with it, then move them back, but that sounds about as much fun as pulling teeth.

So, can anyone remember this? Thanks!

You could make a Product with the one Option Name and all values ...

Option Names:

Code:

Add ALL Option Values to ONE products for Option Name
Update ONE product that has at least ONE Option Value and Add ALL Option Values in an Option Name

Pick the Option Name and the Product to add all values to it

Go to Attributes Controller

Find Product ...

Copy Attributes to 1 Product or 1 Category of Products with Copy To buttons at top of screen ...

Thanks, but you've lost me here!
I've been to
admin/attributes_controller.php?products_filter=1220&current_category_id=47
and
admin/options_name_manager.php
and
admin/options_values_manager.php
and what feels like several other screens that I can never find again, over the last couple of hours, and I just can't see this option at the top of any of them!

I can't select multiple attributes to add, if that's what you meant. I tried in IE as well, but it's just not letting me do it.

I see:
"Leave blank for ALL Products or
enter a Category ID for Products to update"
in "Copy to ALL Products where Option Name and Value ..." and "Copy Option Name/Value to Products with existing Option Name ...". So, that's applying to the ONE category or ALL products if left blank. Not what I want.
I also see "Default New Attribute Values from Product ID# or leave blank for no default values", which I don't understand, even after experimenting on it.

I know, somewhere, there's a thing where you can copy the attributes of one product to another. But if I have 25 colours and even more sizes, getting that first product setup is going to be a nightmare in itself.

Can you explain it to me in even simpler terms, pretty please?
