How Can I Add A Null Attribute For Product Combinations?

[Walrus]

I want to add two variations (Prestashop calls combinations) to a product: Mac OS, and Windows.

 

I created an attribute and added two values: Mac OS, and Windows. So far so good!

 

When I add the two variations (combinations) to a product, one is always selected as the default.

 

This means if customer isn't forced to choose a variation before checkout, then the default will get sent (i.e., Mac OS version but customer may want Windows version).

 

How can I force customer to choose a variation?

 

Thanks.

I want to know this too.  Surprised this hasn't been solved yet.

 

Even better example: shoe size.  You won't want a "default" shoe size.

Well, it applies to all variations of a product. I looked at major retail sites and, unsurprisingly, they all force customer to make a choice, if they don't, they cannot add item to shopping cart. I filed a feature enhancement, if you care, please search for it on the bugs site and add your weight.

Could you post a link to your submission if you don't mind?  I searched for your submission for "attribute" or "combination" keywords but did not locate it.
