AbleCommerce Shopping Cart Software

I've been playing with a demo site and I'm in need of a little guidance. This is a make/break question:

I have about 50 NEARLY IDENTICAL products that have 8 choices each with 3 to 10 options with swatches that will change the product's price. Templates isn't the answer.

Is there a way to make a product and use it as a template for the next 49 similar products? Building the options lists in 'Options and Variants' for each product will take way too long. Is there a 'save this product as...' option that I haven't found yet? "Save as..." is a wonderful thing when working in Word, right? Anything similar in AC?

Perhaps 'cloning' or similar?
Perhaps a complicated, time consuming 'options' can be saved for use on many products?

Thanks.

what about the products copy command, did you try that?

It's an icon under the Category listing..... Geeeez. Give me a day or two, I'll come up with a way to hide it much better....

Thanks, that'll do nicely.

A quick note though. It should make the copy invisible to the shopper. I made the copy and it appeared immediately on the store as "Copy of....".

Keep the master product visibility hidden and then create its duplicates.
