The analytical part of my mind was very much agree with your proposal: with these distinctions “shoe_size” and “shirt_size” we get a more analitic model, and also the person who creates a product has only the options appropriate for the type of product : very good.
However (motivated by a hard migration OSC), I’ve been thinking a bit more, aided by the synthesizer part of my mind, and I wonder:

In addition to the possible confusion for the product creator (ie: assuming for granted that he will choose the appropriate options in each case), what problems might arise from set an attribute “size” common to all products that need?.
For example, there magento demo of the attribute “color”, common to the entire catalog. In category navigation there isn’t inconsistencies: if we looking at the category “shoes”, layered navigation panel only shows the options of the shoes.
On this demo there are “shoe_size” and “shirt_size”

Finally: Does anyone could point out a case that definitely (apart from the above case the creation of a product) prove that is functionally convenient (because advantages or disadvantages) to perform these differences on the design of the attributes?

- An advantage of non-distinguished “color”: we can search green products in full catalg

thank you very much!

I need help with Managing Attribute and Managing Attribute Set—

My doubt is that if i have 2 or more products where there is a common attribute, then magento doesnt allow the common attribute to be used.
Eg: now Shirt and Pant have different tables but the color column can be same like ‘Black, White’
also i am trying to this with configurable product

The error is ‘Value must be unique’
Advice needed ASAP

Hey Igor,

I am not sure what exactly are you wishing to do? Can you be more specific? If you refer to attribute creation, adding those and their values should be an easy task to do even manually. I don’t think that you need import script for this. Or you mean something else?
