List of values attributes allow you to create dropdown menus with defined values across the product list. There are two types of list of values attributes:

  • Single select: Specifies that the end user can select one option in the list of values.
  • Multiple select: Specifies that the end user can make multiple selections from the list of values.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have administrator privileges to fabric Product Catalog. For more information, see Role-Based Access Control.

Procedure

  1. In the left menu, click Product Catalog > Attributes > Product. The Product Attributes page is displayed.
  2. Click New Attribute. The Create product attribute page is displayed.
  3. Select List of values.
  4. (Optional) To enable localization for the attribute, set the Localize this attribute toggle to one of the following:
    • On: The attribute title is localized. The Title and description and Business validations sections display additional fields corresponding to the languages depending on the internationalization settings.
    • Off: The attribute title isn’t localized.
  5. In the Attribute title (primary) field, enter a name for the attribute. If localization is enabled in step 4, enter the localized attribute titles in the Attribute title field for each corresponding internationalization setting.
  6. (Optional) In the Description field, enter a description for the attribute.
  7. In the Type of list field, select one of the following:
    • Single select: Specifies that the end user can select one option in the list of values.
    • Multiple select: Specifies that the end user can make multiple selections from the list of values.
  8. In the Enter values field, enter each value in the list, separated by a comma. If localization is enabled in step 4, enter the localized values for each corresponding internationalization setting.
  9. In the Use JavaScript formula to calculate value field, select one of the following:
    • Yes: Specifies that the value for the attribute is calculated using the JavaScript formula that you provide in the Calculation formula field. An example of a JavaScript formula is (async () => await attribute(‘id’) * 10)(). When you select Yes, the Calculation formula and Allow manual overwrite fields are displayed. Do the following to complete the settings:
      • In the Calculation formula field, enter a JavaScript formula.
      • In the Allow manual overwrite field, choose one of the following:
        • Yes: Specifies that you can manually overwrite the attribute value. When the Use JavaScript formula to calculate value setting is enabled, the system determines the value based on your provided formula. However, if you enable the manual overwrite option, you can replace the system-calculated value with a custom value during product attribute setup. For more information, see the Adding an Item section.
        • No: Specifies that you can’t manually overwrite the attribute value. This is the default setting.
    • No: Specifies that the attribute value isn’t calculated using a JavaScript formula.
  10. In the Validations field, select one of the following:
  • None: Specifies that no custom validation is required for the attribute. This is the default setting.
