Following the clue from here, I put the attribute option back in 6.2 patch 10. Same method works on newer version.

Please note that line numbers are approximate.

1. Export

Applies to admin/easypopulate_export.php

1.1 Uncomment attribute option drop down in line 846

1.2 Around line 370 change


$attribute_options_query = "select distinct products_options_id from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_OPTIONS . " where products_options_name = '" . $value . "'";


to


$attribute_options_query="select distinct po.products_options_id from products_options po, products_options_text pot where pot.products_options_name= '".$value."' and po.products_options_id=pot.products_options_text_id"; $attribute_options_query="select distinct po.products_options_id from products_options po, products_options_text pot where pot.products_options_name= '".$value."' and po.products_options_id=pot.products_options_text_id";


1.3 Make exactly the same change to around line 385

1.4 Around line 643

change


$attribute_options_languages_query = "select products_options_name from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_OPTIONS . " where products_options_id = '" . (int)$attribute_options['products_options_id'] . "' and language_id = '" . (int)$lid . "'";


to


$attribute_options_languages_query = "select products_options_name from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_TEXT . " where products_options_text_id = '" . (int)$attribute_options['products_options_id'] . "' and language_id = '" . (int)$lid . "'";
