Catalog Manager Challenge: Configurable Products

Hello List:
Given the current trunk version (823826) of OFBiz, how does one create a 
configurable product consisting of other products?

Using just the Catalog Manager, there does not seem to be any way to 
associate a configurable item as an existing PRODUCT. There is a way to 
list existing configuration items that are PRODUCTS (as in the PC001 
PRODUCT), but no way to add new configurable items and preserve any 
PRODUCT information about that item. What am I missing here? Do I need 
to use some other Catalog Manager interface?

Regards,
Ruth

Hi Jacques:
I just tried this with the BlueLight theme installed on a very recent 
version of OFBiz and it appears I misspoke - at least as regards to the 
BlueLight theme. My original question came when I was using the Bizzness 
theme. I'll go back and check out that theme and see if I just couldn't 
find this feature or if, in fact it isn't there.

Thanks for looking into this.
Ruth

Hello List:
I would like to add to this original post that in older, 4x versions of 
OFBiz, there existed a form to create a configuration item as an 
existing PRODUCT.
