Description

[Paul]

add products to this new classification

should not ask me to create products.  Just add existing products into the classification.

Just to make things clear, when a new classification is created, the UI shows
"<a>add</a> products to this new classification".

But instead of showing you a list of existing products where you could pick some of them to add to your new classification, it redirects you to

editproducts.cgi?action=add&classification=Foo

to create a completely new product. I think that in most cases, that's not what you want. And if that's what we want, the text should be clearer ("create a new product and add it to this new classification") and should offer another link pointing to existing products ("reassign some existing products to this new classification").


Gavin, we should probably include this text in the future admin/classifications/footer.html.tmpl, see bug 311973.

This sounds WFM now, after creating a new classification it redirects me to reclassify page for products.
