    Default Restrict fields when adding a new product

    Is it possible to restrict the fields for adding a new product (in the admin section).

    The idea is to make it easier for non-technical people to add a product, and to remove any fields that they won't require.

    Has this been done or its just custom coding?

    Default

    That's been done before, but it is custom coding. If you're on 8x or earlier it shouldn't be too complicated to do. You can take the pages we use to add products in the admin site by default and make a copy, then add a menu option that points to your new page (/admin/skins/skin_1/menuData.xml). Then just strip out the stuff that you don't want them to see, and make sure the 'INSERT' statements have the defaults for the 'hidden' fields set the way you want.
