It would be really great to be able to set the modify/override setting at the Option Level - for example. We have Color, Size and Width options and those make up all the variants. If one color is put on clearance, I can change each variant to be the clearance price and mark them all override. If this were added, I could simply edit the color option and change the price for that one color and then mark it as an override so it effects all that color variants.
I think it would be quite helpful for allowing for good control of sale/clearance products that are combined in with regular-price products.
