In this video, we create a new configurable product and present this time-saving functionality. Please note that we also expect to add the ability to copy configurable product data to a newly create simple product, making data entry a snap.

I guess it’s the same as any other open source product - you get what you pay for. In this case a confusing user interface and clunky layout.

The duplicate product bug should be fixed for the next release.

Thanks

Also, is it possible to duplicate a product from this screen (and will the duplicate bug be fixed).

Hope I’m not sounding ungrateful, I think the Magento team are all doing a super job!
