Sure I can. Here it goes:
that unique shorthand helped but the other problem that i was talking
about is that on each product's card I get to create properties
instead of selecting the ones that have been already created (I think
i need to overwrite the form action - eureka! but i'm not sure how to
merge it so i only replace the functionality thats wrong and not the
whole page.) The problem with the properties and product specific
values is that when I create say Hight and Width and set them to 10
and 20 cm accordingly i dont get a page that looks like
*page content*
Properties
---------
Hight :10 cm
Width: 20 cm
Instead i get something like
Properties
--------------
Hight
has one value
Width
Has one value
And I need to click it to see that value. Its also messed up because i
dont get the edit product page like
[properties dropdown] [(product specific )value input box] [+]
i get something like
[properties input box] [+][-]
value input box [+][-]
I can assign many values to the same property for one product and
thats wrong. I need that but for separate products. Where did I mess
up?
