Products in the same category usually need the same attributes – only the values differ. Every shoe needs brand, material, size and colour, every laptop needs processor, RAM and storage.

Auto Attribute Assigner 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.

Example

Rule for “Shoes” (incl. sub-categories): Brand, Material (default: Leather), Size, Colour.
You 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.

Features

Unlimited category rules, each with as many attributes as you need.
Optional default value per attribute.
Rules can apply to all sub-categories – one rule for a whole category branch.
Attributes are assigned automatically when a product is first created.
Attributes are not re-added on later updates, so attributes you removed stay removed.
Manual “Assign” button in the product’s attribute section.
“Assign presets to all products” button for your existing catalogue.
Category selection with the full hierarchy and slugs.
Role based permissions: decide per user role who may see the plugin, edit or delete rules and run assignments.
Available in English and German.
