Products in the same category usually need the same attributes<\/strong> - only the values differ. Every shoe needs brand, material, size and colour, every laptop needs processor, RAM and storage.<\/p>\n\n Auto Attribute Assigner<\/strong> lets you define these attributes once per product category, optionally with a default value. When you create a product in that category, the attributes are added automatically. You only fill in the values - no more searching and adding the same attributes by hand, and no forgotten attributes that break your shop filters.<\/p>\n\n Example<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Rule for \"Shoes\" (incl. sub-categories): Brand, Material (default: Leather), Size, Colour.\nYou create a product in \"Shoes > Women\" and save it - the four attributes are already there, material is set to \"Leather\". You only enter brand, size and colour.<\/p>\n\n Features<\/strong><\/p>\n\n This plugin is completely free<\/strong> with no feature limits<\/strong>. If it saves you time, you can support its development with a small donation using the \"Support \/ Donate\" button - thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n Open Auto Attribute Assigner<\/strong>, select a product category, check the attributes you want (optionally with a default value) and save the rule. New products in that category receive the attributes automatically.<\/p><\/dd>\n Only if you check \"Also apply to sub-categories\" in the rule. Then a rule for \"Shoes\" also applies to \"Shoes > Women\", \"Shoes > Men\" and all deeper levels. If a sub-category has its own rule, both are combined; for an attribute set in both, the rule of the closer category wins.<\/p><\/dd>\n Attributes are assigned automatically only when a product is first created, so the plugin never changes existing products on its own. Use the \"Assign presets to all products\" button or the \"Assign\" button on a single product.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. Neither the automatic assignment nor the \"Assign\" buttons overwrite attribute values that are already set.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. Deleting a rule never removes attributes that were already written to your products.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. The plugin adds attributes to products. Values used for variations (e.g. the sizes and colours of a variable product) are still set up by hand.<\/p><\/dd>\n By default administrators and shop managers. Administrators can change this per user role at the bottom of the settings page.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n\n
