Adding subproducts
We are currently transitioning from a custom site with order anywhere buttons to using custom templates. All of our products already appear in our shopsite database and we are now creating some new products and then attaching most existing products as subproducts. The backoffice interface for this is not very helpful. In particular, it seems that when selecting subproducts you must select them all at once. If you miss one, it's not easy to add it to an existing list, you have to start over. Is there some function I'm missing that does this? This is really aggravating because we have lots of products and the subproduct lists include cross-sell items making it difficult to search and hit all possible subproducts at once.

Yes, you have to select them all at once using the control key while clicking the desired products.
You could also assign the subproducts through a product upload in the Subproducts field.
The format of this field is:
A list of any of the names of products in the store. Separate product names with |. If the names of products in your store are not unique, you can use both the product name and SKU by preceeding the SKU with a tilde (~), like this:
Product Name1~SKU1|Product Name2~SKU2|Product Name3~SKU3
