HiGuys.
I'm linking products to categories via a multi-value pulldown list.
With 10 categories and each category having mutliple sub and sub sub categories - it gets a bit confusing.
Especially that there a some very similar names. ie;
clothing / boys
toys / boys
gifts / baptisim / boys
all appear in the list a "boys"
Is there a better way of handling this?

Hi Tim,
One technique that I've used is to change the option label from "name" to "breadcrumbs". This will then show you the lineage of a given category. So you categories would the appear in the list like this:
clothing: boys
toys: boys
gifts: baptisim: boys
Hope this helps
