Hi Jacques,
Thanks for the reply.
I don't know if attributes are the right solution or if I am missing
something.
If for example I have two types of products.
1. Books
2. Cars
These will share some product properties that are currently defined
e.g size, weight, description etc ....
If I want to add something specific to books e.g numberOfPages then
are attributes the correct choice?
This will involve the user entering the data to know the name and type
of the attribute to enter as free text which seems error-prone.
I can see how attributes would be useful for adding ad-hoc information
to specific instances of product but this doesn't seem to be a good
solution for adding "Product Type" specific information that I might
need to search on for example.
Would you still advise that I use attributes based on this information
or should I be looking elsewhere?
Kind regards
Simon

Hi all,
One of the items that our store is going to sell are publications.
I want to know the best way to add a new "date published"
property for products that are created in the "publications"
category.
I have looked into extending the Product entity but this solution
makes a product too specific.
I have researched features but can see how I can add a free entry
feature of a date type.
If anyone could point me in the right direction as to how best to
assign specific properties to products of a certain type that would
be great.
Kind Regards
Simon Hutchinson
