It's me again, with another catalog question. I want to say that if this
wasn't my first time using any CS platform, I wouldn't have so many
questions, but it's so complex that I doubt that would be true. I have a
product with 3 variant properties. Each of these variant properties is
represented as an enumeration property, or "Multiple Choice" in the
Catalog
Schema Manager UI App, because they have some finite choices that are to
be
decided by the business. Here's the thing:
In the CS2002 book I read, it's preferred to display each variant in it's
own dropdown for the user, and then concatenate the unique selectedValues
from each of the dropdowns to form the correct variantId that can be
easily
and efficiently retrieved from the productFamily by using GetVariant() or
some other simple means. But how can they achieve this if the multiple
choice properties in CS don't sup****t name/value pairs, but only display
names? Any tips from someone who's done this on some schema tips to
handle
multiple variant properties that contain more than 1 possible choice? Is
this something I'll need custom join tables for?
Any tips would be appreciated,
Dave
