Item Specifics Problem w Jean Style

[vivonei0]

Hello, 

I was updating Item Specifics on some jeans and many of the choices under STYLE don’t make sense.  For instance: Sweatpants, Trackpants and Chino aren’t normally jean “styles”.  I was looking for Boot Cut but that wasn’t an option. There is nothing from the Style section that I can choose as the Style for the jeans. I do understand I can click the Enter Your Own option but it’s a step that we shouldn’t need to do.  Plus, this must be hard on a Buyer to have sweatpants and chino styles to pick from when they are searching for #fallfashion jean styles like Boot Cut, Classic, Wide Leg, Ankle, Straight Leg, Skinny, Slouchy Skinny, High Rise, Low Rise, Pinstripe, and Paperbag Waist.

...and they are still working on it.  (I think they need to revert back to the old format).

None of the Item specifics make any sense. Its not even worth thinking about. I don't know about you, but I don't think there should be a "Style: Animal Print" in Tools ...

They tried to reconfigure item specifics and ran into a huge mess.  They've been trying to fix it for about 2 weeks now.

Sometimes one step forward and 2step back is the thing to do...

*other companies* know how to roll things back. *other companies* know how to sandbox features. *other companies* communicate with their customers.

Black Friday is in a month and here we are talking about "they're trying to fix it". Was summer vacation too long in California, or are we going to blame this on wildfires and climate change too?

I have no idea why you would think that. I was addressing no one in particular.

😂 Maybe it’s for the female that likes a little glamour with their hammer? Jk but I understand. I was listing a belt and was being prompted to add the shoe width 😣 🤣🤣
