EAV Attributes Unit (e.g. mm, ml, oz)

[SRaromicon]

It would be great to get an extra field for attributes, that holds the unit of an numeric / decimal attribute.

Now you have to save every attribute, which has an unit like mm, oz or V, as an attribute of type varchar.
In very large stores with more than 2000 attributes the varchar table becomes very large and the other tables are not used, because you need the unit of meassurement.

Thanks for your suggestion, @SRaromicon! We will review it and let you know our decision.

Also, it would be great if measurement attribute has automatic conversion
between stores in different measurement system. E.g. 1 (inch) in Store A in
imperial will be converted to 2.54 (cm) in Store B in metric automatically.

Who else would like this functionality? @ilol & I have this on our radar ( post 2.0 release; TBD at present ) but would like to get a feel for how many in the community would value this feature. Thanks!

I'd like to see this functionality in the form of attribute renderers. An attribute might have a unit, It might be an image, it might be a calculation. Is it an idea to implement frontend renderers for all the attributes?
