All you need to activate multi-values for features in the manager:

  1. Edit the primary key of the ps_feature_product table. MySQL example:
  2. Remove primary key: ALTER TABLE `ps_feature_product` DROP PRIMARY KEY; Add primary key: ALTER TABLE `ps_feature_product` ADD PRIMARY KEY(`id_feature`, `id_product`, `id_feature_value`);
  3. In the manager, update the data from the Web.
