Item Options, ID vs Label

edited Sep 26, 2007 12:13PM in Web Site / E-Commerce 24 comments

Why does the item option label have to be unique?  Shouldn't only the option ID be unique?

For example if I sold plates and dishes and they come in various colors I may want to set up the following options...

[INDENT]
Label: Color
ID: red_or_blue
Type: List/Record
List/Record: red_blue
[/INDENT]

[INDENT]
Label: Color
ID: red_or_green
Type: List/Record
List/Record: red_green
[/INDENT]

This way some dishes and plates can be sold with the color option of red or blue, or with the color option of red or green.  But in Netsuite I cannot create two options with the same 'Label', is there a better way of achieving this?

Howdy, Stranger!
