[ic] Help with matrix options

Suggest you change your "options" table to match the 4.9.7 ones from
foundation, and add the "variant" table. Then add a field "option_type"
in the products table, and put in catalog.cfg:

	OptionsEnable   option_type

At that point the UI should work well for the Matrix type.

It would be good to update to the latest 4.9.7 from nightly_build,
too.

Best,
Mike
