Product attributes and attribute sets¶

Since 1.1. Entity Product attributes and attribute sets (openimport_attribute), identifier attribute_code.

Import¶

Add/Update creates attributes that do not exist and updates the given columns of existing ones; it also assigns the attribute to attribute sets. Delete takes the attribute out of the listed attribute sets only: OpenImport never deletes an attribute (its values on every product would go with it). Replace is refused.

Column	Meaning
attribute_code	identifier; lower-case letters, digits, underscores
label	default label; required for a new attribute
frontend_input	text, textarea, texteditor, select, multiselect, boolean, date, datetime, price, weight; required for a new attribute, cannot change later
options	Cotton|Wool|Silk for select and multiselect; options the attribute lacks are added, existing ones keep their ids and order
scope	global, website or store
is_required, is_unique, is_searchable, is_filterable_in_search, is_comparable, is_visible_on_front, used_in_product_listing, is_html_allowed_on_front, is_used_for_promo_rules, used_for_sort_by	1/0 (also yes/no, true/false, ja/nein)
is_filterable	0, 1 (filterable with results) or 2 (filterable, no results)
default_value	text
attribute_set	Default, Bags: the sets to assign the attribute to (they must exist)
attribute_group	the group inside those sets; created when missing; default General

Store-view labels work like everywhere in OpenImport: map a file column to store:<store view code>:label for the attribute's label and to store:<store view code>:options for the option labels, in the order of the default options (Baumwolle|Wolle|Seide; leave an entry empty to keep the default).

The dry run shows the attributes that would be created and every column that would change. Writes go through Magento's attribute repository and attribute management, so the same validation as the admin applies.

Export¶

One row per attribute of the shop's own (user-defined) attributes with options, flags and the sets it belongs to, plus one row per store view with its own label or option labels. Export option attributes = all adds Magento's system attributes. The file imports back as it is.
