Attribute Values

An attribute must have values, because the values are the way to distinguish between product IDs. For example, if you are selling tricycles, and they come in 3 colour variations, but are the same in all other respects, you would use an attribute called "Colour" as your method for distinguishing between them. However, the attribute "Colour" needs values, so that once the attribute is assigned to the product, you can select the appropriate value.
