Advanced inventory feature, Attribute adding

29 votes

I've started using the advanced inventory feature to fine tune some of our catagories (our products can be classed as from the same group but have differences etc) and what I would find really helpful is if you had the ability to add a custom attribute to products that you tick the box next to. For example we sell lighting and I am looking at our bathroom flush ceiling lights category which is populated with lights that are either circular or square. If there was a feature of the advanced inventory manager where you could 'create attribute', give it a name (such as 'shape' with custom options like circular, square) and then tick boxes next to each relevant product within that category and it apply it to them, then it would really help refine our products, allowing customers to view only the shape they are interested in (once the filter is applied within the shop). It would be quicker and easier. Doing it visually in the advanced inventory manager is a lot easie than by spreadsheets

Rather than editing each item to view the GTIN to have it displaying as an option within the burger menu

The ability to see custom attributes on the default view would be handy for checking GTIN & MPN fields are completed

When looking at the Products in the Inventory manger would be really good to see a Column of Attributes like Custom Attribute as we use this under Source for the stock location as in J7 (Column J shelf 7) so we could find the location when looking at the Inventory manger.
