Add Options to tons of products at once??

I do custom vinyl decals and shirts..
I have tons of designs, and i am always adding more.
I also have a wide variety of options, from shirt sizes to colors, and decals with all different colors.

I need a way so when i get a new color in, i can quickly add that color to tons of designs (products) without having to do it all individually...

Are there any extensions out there that can do this?

I am currently on 1.5.6.4. but will probably be upgrading to 2.2 soon.

Thanks

then, better stop working on such right now, because it would just be a waste of time, and endangering
any upgrade attempt (wich is not possible, by any routine, by default, yet anyway!).
Better Make yourselfs smart about all that, before making a single move, ruining your day and shop, at best!
Good Luck ! ;)

I just want it, so when i go into an option, like Shirt Color..I can add a new color to the options list..and all products with that Shirt Color Option automatically updates with the new color..instead of having to go thru every product one by one to add that option color..

I know, but you plan to ADD a lot of things to your DB, but some things will not longer WORK on a OC v.2.x DB, the way, they have been 'implanted' into an OC v.1.5.6 DB. And this means, that you probably have to pay more money, to get someone, to modify your existing DB-Content, to make it work again on your future Shop, this, compared with a DB, containing just a small amount of mostly 'standard' Tables, Sections, and Content.

Look at it from the economical Point of View, strictly, because if you are NOT a Pro, you'll probably will require PRO assistance, so, at least, try to make it easier on them, and on your Money...
Good Luck

Yes I am aware of the database incompatibility issues.
I am not adding any more items, unless i need to, to my current online store, not until i do the upgrade..but i still want to research to see if an option is available for the 2.0+ systems..so when i do upgrade, i will have that installed from the very 1st product.

I am in the process of moving my physical store to a much larger location, so once i get set up there i will work on installing OC 2.+.
