Attribute to Push Products Live

I would love to see an attribute where I can control if a product is pushed to my channel(s). It would basically be a multi-select field where each selected item is the name of a channel. Then the team members who create/write products can push them live directly from our cart. It seems like wasted time to have to log into Channel Unity to also make it live on the channel after making it live on our site. We would clearly need to occasionally log into CU to check for errors (or better yet, an email gets sent when errors occur).

  Hi Eric, The difficulty here is really as you highlight - our platform is designed to be the listing tool, and its designed to give as much feedback and guidance as possible. It could be more cumbersome to have a disconnected situation where people are setting an attribute live within Magento and expecting it to be live on marketplaces, then check 2 weeks later and see errors.

  I can see your point however - we'll keep it in mind. We've got some great updates in the pipeline for the listings screen which should make it much easier and less time consuming to use.

  Mark.

  For the moment, we're not looking to do this  because of the danger of products not going live, and having to re-communicate this back to the shopping cart. We will keep an open mind to the idea however.
