2 or more units with different attributes in same order

This must be here somewhere, but I haven't found it. On the livetest, if I want two hats, one small and one large, I have to select one, put it in the cart, then come back and select the other, in order to buy them both at the same time. Isn't there a way for the customer to buy two or more of the same unit with different attributes all at once? For example, I was surprised to see that holding down ctrl did not allow me to select more than one item at a time. Am I missing something here? Thx.

-p.s. - or, two units with the same attributes but different options at the same time?

There's nothing for this in core, and I can help you visualize why... assuming you could specify the quantity of each option to add to the cart, in a situation with two or more attributes you're going to need a field for every possible combination of options. This is untenable in core, but a custom module could define a new add to cart form that offered this sort of functionality.

I can't picture how that would work without a proliferation of select boxes, so I checked a number of web shops that I consider to be exceptionally well implemented and none of them has anything like this. What they DO have is a link on the cart page which will take you back to the product page for the product you just added. That makes it easy to add another with a different size, color, etc. It might be a good from a usability viewpoint for UC to add a link like this under the "Continue shopping" link ...

The 'title' of every item in the cart is already a link back to the product page of that product, in case they wanted to add another one.

True. I withdraw my request!
