Entering product cost into each attribute.

[Muldrick82]

There has GOT to be an easier way (than manually) carry the cost of each item over to each product attribute.
As is, I have to go to advanced options for each specific product and manually put in my cost of each item.
This is absurd, and will take me days.
Anyone have a better way?

I was just tinkering with a product, looking for a solution for you, and noticed something.

When I go to the Options tab, then click Advanced Options in the upper right, fill in the Cost value, and click Save Changes, I am brought back to the Options tab. If I then navigate back to the Advanced Options, the cost field is back to 0; like it's not saving.

Anyone else?

Nope, that part works fine for me.

Have you tried using the import feature for the advanced options?
Products>Export/Import -> Advanced Options

Yes, and none give me cost pricing.
If I had that list I could then just copy and paste that.

You have to enable them. Check the box next to each one.

Ooooh. Thanks, Bob :)
