ParticipantOctober 23, 2018 at 10:48 pm #5709I have turned off<label for=”a2w_import_extended_variation_attribute”> Extended variation attributes </label>so I can create my own custom ones but when I import variations the default attribute is imported as well.
That attribute cannot be renamed inside the product page, so I am planning to delete it and create a custom attribute but will that affect the variations? Are attributes and variations linked and by deleting attributes, fulfillment won’t work correctly? Or is it safe to delete the attribute, create a custom one and keep the variations which were imported from Ali2Woo?Peter Stavrou
ParticipantOctober 23, 2018 at 10:49 pm #5710I want to make custom attributes for each product (not global) and then use the swatch plugin to add images to them.

KeymasterOctober 24, 2018 at 7:26 am #5730Hello, you can delete attributes from variations. Please note if you delete the attribute, you need delete it from all variations having it. The order fulfillment feature will work correctly.
Thanks

What do you mean exactly?
For example, I delete it from here http://prntscr.com/l9ntke and then create a custom product attribute. Do I then need to go into Variations and delete all variations and then “create variations from attribute”?

KeymasterOctober 24, 2018 at 10:18 am #5732If an attribute is used in some variations, then you need to go to Variation tab and look through all variations and make sure they don’t have that attribute, otherwise you delete it.

ParticipantOctober 24, 2018 at 11:09 am #5733I’m still having trouble with this…
Basically all I want to change is this text https://prntscr.com/l9o4o2
When I remove the attributes that were imported from AliExpress and add my own attribute and press save, all of the variations get removed.Do I need to create the variations manually for my custom attribute?

ParticipantOctober 24, 2018 at 11:27 am #5734I think i figured it out for anyone else having this problem.
If you create a custom attribute and then just add all the variations in there and after that delete the imported attribute it works.
Example: http://prntscr.com/l9ocke
After that I delete color and leave the custom attribute style.Admin, please confirm that there is no problem doing this and fulfillment will still work.

ParticipantOctober 24, 2018 at 1:20 pm #5737It appears that a featured image is required for everything to work.
All good now 🙂Admin
