Use custom attributes to make changes and store your data before assigning the values to a product data specification attribute. This article explains how to set up custom attributes to use in your attribute rules.
Before you begin
Make sure to add product data sources to your Merchant Center account so that there is data to create rules with.
Then, enable the attribute rules feature by adding the “Advanced data source management” add-on. Having this add-on allows you to use attribute rules. Learn more about Advanced data source management.
How it works
Custom attributes allow you to store a value that you may use later to populate a different attribute value. This allows you to create a secondary version of the value without changing the existing attribute.
Examples
- You'd like to add the color "red" to a title
[title]
attribute, but you'd also like to keep "burgundy" in the color[color]
attribute. - You'd like to separate one section of the product type
[product_type]
