Inventory Items and Options

[StitchingSupply]

I need to be able to use options with a non-unique value. For example, I sell yarn that could be multiple shades of red and I want to group them together within a red family. I've tried custom attributes but those can't be exported. I was advised to use Options, but that requires only one selection of red from the red family in the item.

@StitchingSupply ;

1. Create an Item  Red Family  and then you can create Varitaions for the item Red Family. Can be exported

2. Create a Category called Red Family and then have different Shades of Red Yarn in that category

3. You could also create a Parent Category of Yarn with Sub categories or Shades of Color Families with Items of those colors in the sub categories.

The only issue I am having is creating multiple colors with the same Value and not a Unique value.  What are you defining as a Unique value for the yarn?   Each Shade of red would need a unique sku to define which color the buyer is purchasing.

What are you trying to do if you could explain the way your trying to sell the item(s).
