Item Attributes: Multiple Value selection for "Option" type

Posted on by CU18090115-0 4
Hello community!
 
Let's I have Items that are made of different multiple ingredients.
I make an attribute "Ingredients" and set the type to "Option".
I populate this attribute with values. (Ingr.-1, Ingr.-2, Ingr.-3 etc.)
And now I want assign this attribute to:
Item-1 Ingredients values: Ingr.-1, Ingr.-2
Item-2 Ingredients values: Ingr.-2, Ingr.-3
But BC allows only one value per Attribute of "Option" type.
 
Is there a way to make it possible? Does anyone have any suggestions or solution?
I'm really surprised that I couldn't find anything on this topic.

    Thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, this is the only out-of-the-box solution that effectively fits the use case. Your other options are to customize the system to meet your needs, explore third-party apps that might provide a solution, or submit your suggestion to Microsoft as an idea here.

    Yeah, that was my initial thought, but it's rather a terrible workaround than an actual solution

    As an alternative you can create the same attribute multiple times. i.e.
     
    Attribute 1 values (Ingr.-1, Ingr.-2, Ingr.-3 etc.)
    Attribute 2 values (Ingr.-1, Ingr.-2, Ingr.-3 etc.)
    Attribute 3 values (Ingr.-1, Ingr.-2, Ingr.-3 etc.)
     
    Then in your item you would assign
    Item-1 - Attribute 1: Ingr.-1, Attribute 2: Ingr.-2
    Item-2 - Attribute 1: Ingr.-2, Attribute 2: Ingr.-3

    Oh that would be great and logical.
    I don't understand why this is not a feature out of the box
