Hans,

So the intention is that it's useful to have all features show up? Could be 
more specific, what exactly are you trying to have show?

Features are used for a lot of different things. Here is a list of the OOTB 
types, and many companies add additional types as needed. We do have a couple 
of clients (one in the metal mesh industry and one in the jewelry industry) 
with dozens of features on each Product in order to enable parametric searches, 
configuration and UI options, and lots of other stuff.

Here is a list of types from the ProductTypeData.xml file:

   <ProductFeatureType description="Accessory" hasTable="N" parentTypeId="" 
productFeatureTypeId="ACCESSORY"/>
   <ProductFeatureType description="Amount" hasTable="N" parentTypeId="" 
productFeatureTypeId="AMOUNT"/>
   <ProductFeatureType description="Net Weight" hasTable="N" parentTypeId="AMOUNT" 
productFeatureTypeId="NET_WEIGHT"/>
   <ProductFeatureType description="Artist" hasTable="N" parentTypeId="" 
productFeatureTypeId="ARTIST"/>
   <ProductFeatureType description="Billing Feature" hasTable="N" parentTypeId="" 
productFeatureTypeId="BILLING_FEATURE"/>
   <ProductFeatureType description="Brand" hasTable="N" parentTypeId="" 
productFeatureTypeId="BRAND"/>
   <ProductFeatureType description="Care" hasTable="N" parentTypeId="" 
productFeatureTypeId="CARE"/>
   <ProductFeatureType description="Color" hasTable="N" parentTypeId="" 
productFeatureTypeId="COLOR"/>
   <ProductFeatureType description="Dimension" hasTable="N" parentTypeId="" 
productFeatureTypeId="DIMENSION"/>
   <ProductFeatureType description="Equipment Class" hasTable="N" parentTypeId="" 
productFeatureTypeId="EQUIP_CLASS"/>
   <ProductFeatureType description="Fabric" hasTable="N" parentTypeId="" 
productFeatureTypeId="FABRIC"/>
   <ProductFeatureType description="Genre" hasTable="N" parentTypeId="" 
productFeatureTypeId="GENRE"/>
   <ProductFeatureType description="Gift Wrap" hasTable="N" parentTypeId="" 
productFeatureTypeId="GIFT_WRAP"/>
   <ProductFeatureType description="Hardware Feature" hasTable="N" parentTypeId="" 
productFeatureTypeId="HARDWARE_FEATURE"/>
   <ProductFeatureType description="Hazmat" hasTable="N" parentTypeId="" 
productFeatureTypeId="HAZMAT"/>
   <ProductFeatureType description="License" hasTable="N" parentTypeId="" 
productFeatureTypeId="LICENSE"/>
   <ProductFeatureType description="Origin" hasTable="N" parentTypeId="" 
productFeatureTypeId="ORIGIN"/>
   <ProductFeatureType description="Other Feature" hasTable="N" parentTypeId="" 
productFeatureTypeId="OTHER_FEATURE"/>
   <ProductFeatureType description="Product Quality" hasTable="N" parentTypeId="" 
productFeatureTypeId="PRODUCT_QUALITY"/>
   <ProductFeatureType description="Size" hasTable="N" parentTypeId="" 
productFeatureTypeId="SIZE"/>
   <ProductFeatureType description="Software Feature" hasTable="N" parentTypeId="" 
productFeatureTypeId="SOFTWARE_FEATURE"/>
   <ProductFeatureType description="Style" hasTable="N" parentTypeId="" 
productFeatureTypeId="STYLE"/>
   <ProductFeatureType description="Symptom" hasTable="N" parentTypeId="" 
productFeatureTypeId="SYMPTOM"/>
   <ProductFeatureType description="Topic" hasTable="N" parentTypeId="" 
productFeatureTypeId="TOPIC"/>
   <ProductFeatureType description="Type" hasTable="N" parentTypeId="" 
productFeatureTypeId="TYPE"/>
   <ProductFeatureType description="Warranty" hasTable="N" parentTypeId="" 
productFeatureTypeId="WARRANTY"/>
   <ProductFeatureType description="Model Year" hasTable="N" parentTypeId="" 
productFeatureTypeId="MODEL_YEAR"/>
   <ProductFeatureType description="Year Made" hasTable="N" parentTypeId="" 
productFeatureTypeId="YEAR_MADE"/>

Do we REALLY want to automatically show these to the customer?

David,
I think it is usefull that features show up automatically without manual
intervention, and when not desired can easily be supressed.

Can you explain to me in which cases you have hundreds of features you
do not want to show a customer? I can not even imagine that. Also the
Demo data does not have these cases.

Regards,
Hans

Hans,

What was the intent of this change?

It seems a little funny to me because:

1. many features are not meant to EVER be shown a customer
2. a product could have dozens or hundreds of features, which doesn't fit so 
well in a productsummary
