Hello
I have a few random words for product information in my nop site that i want to be able to filter for.
For example, I have several food products that may have one or more of these: Biodegradable, Canadian, Kosher, and Organic.
I thought i could just use these descriptive words as spec attributes.  But i realized that i can't just add these as attributes.  They would all have to be options of a single attribute. If say i create a spec attribute called 'Special Attributes' and each of Biodegradable, Canadian etc go under as options then the specs table on the product details page repeats the 'special attributes' for each one which is kind of messed up looking.  
The other way is to have each of those options with a single attribute.  This means i would have to make up an attribute name for each of my options and then the filtering would only have one checkbox option. This doesn't seem to work very well. Is there something I'm missing or should i be doing this a different way.

Thanks

Specification attribute does not show up on product details page . Only product attribute show up in product details page.

Specification attributes have a tick box in the Show on product page column which determines if they show up on the product details page.

If you're ok with making some small modifications to the code (just the views so can be achieved even with the non source code version) then this post has a way of achieving what you want: https://www.nopcommerce.com/boards/t/19894/grouping-specification-attributes-specification-type.aspx#131503. It groups multiple values for the same specification attribute using a delimiter of your choice.
