If you are developing on trunk, you may want to take a look at using Custom Product Attributes - http://www.satchmoproject.com/docs/svn/product-attributes.html
These are meant to be simple data fields that you attach to your models to store additional information. The nice thing is that you can write custom validations for them if you need to. It's meant to be used in cases like this where you only need one or two additional pieces of info on a product. -Chris On Mon, Dec 21, 2009 at 12:15 AM, cc <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, I have a use-case where I need to add fields to most (if not > all) of my products.
