Add Attribute

Overview

The Add Attribute form creates a new product attribute. Choose the attribute type, set its code and properties, and — for Option attributes — build the list of selectable values with optional color or image swatches.

Sidebar: Attributes → Add Attribute URL: /admin/product-attributes/create

How to create an attribute

To create an attribute, open Add Attribute, name it, choose one of the five types, set its properties, and save.

1. Open Attributes → Add Attribute.
2. Enter a Name and Label. The Code is generated from the name and can be edited (lowercase letters, numbers, and underscores only).
3. Choose a Type: Integer, Boolean, Option, Long Text, or Short Text.
4. Set properties such as Required, Searchable, and Visible.
5. For Option attributes, add option values and optionally set a color or image swatch for each.
6. Save to create the attribute.
