Loading bulk variations from inventory items to a listing

I cannot thing of an efficient way to add those 200 variations to a listing efficiently right now.

But since there’s discussion about adding “user properties” to inventory items on another thread here (JavaScript and User Properties?), here is an idea:

Let’s assume we already had a “user properties” table in the inventory item section, here is what might be possible:

  • you enter one or two properties for each of your items (e.g. “size” and “color” – sorry, I just made those up since I don’t have a clue about baseball cards)
  • you’d select all the inventory items for you want to include in your listing as variations in the outline view (with the shift key)
  • you invoke a new command “Create Variation Listing from Inventory Items”, which brings up a window where you’d select a primary (e.g. “size”) and secondary (e.g. "color) variation attribute.
  • this would create a new listing with the individual inventory items as variation items correctly filled in

How does this sound?
