Templates

I noticed in templates there is a field for Value. The documentation does not explain it. Can someone from AC explain what is it's use? Is this a dollar value? Also I'm using AC Gold and it will not let me assign templates from the product level. I have to go to the template level and assign products. With that said I have not been able to successfully assign all templates to the desired products. Using AC Gold, Build 5410

Value means value of the field. It could be anything. Text, number, currency or whatever. It is up to the merchant to use it the way it suits.

You can assign product templates to products from "Admin -> Edit Product -> Edit Product Templates" (~/Admin/Products/EditProductTemplate.aspx?ProductId=XX) page. Assign the templates to product and when done, click "Save" button at the top of page to save changes.

We reported it as a bug to Able and they said it was supposed to be fixed in R5. I had found a patch for it that worked on a test site and I just put that patch on your site and tested it with a test product . If it didn't work, please post back here.

Judy,
I emailed you separately. Naveed it did not work.

In regards to value it can be a dollar value that will add dollars to the total when selected?

The patch was this:
In the Admin/Product/EditProductTemplate.cs
Add _Product.Save();
After _Product.TemplateFields.Save();

You cannot add a dollar amount to the product price from a template field without custom programming, only options and kits.
