Not really. The closest you can get is to set up attributes for a product class, and then make new products from that class. That doesn't affect already existing products, though.

The only other option is to go into the database and copy the rows.

Whoops. Missing a comma in that query. You can add it in on line 1085 of uc_attribute.module between "ca.required" and "ca.ordering". It'll be fixed in the next release.

thanks, that fixed it!!!!!!!!

i have to say that ubercart is on the road "to rule them all"

it is much easier to install, use and configure, especially compared to zen cart. and the support is phenomenal!

I had worked with zen for years then tried ecommerce until I found ubercart which was able to be configured for my special needs.

Thanks and keep up the great work!
