# Adding a Date Attribute

Date attributes allow you to add date-related information about a category.

## Prerequisites

Ensure you have administrator privileges to fabric **Product Catalog**. For more information, see [Role-Based Access Control](/v3/platform/settings/rbac/role-based-access-control).

## Procedure

1. In the left menu, click **Product > Attributes > Category**.

   The **Category Attributes** page is displayed.

2. Click **New Attribute**.

   The **Create category attribute** page is displayed. The **Text** attribute type is selected by default.

3. Select **Date**.

4. In the **Attribute title** field, enter a name for the attribute.

5. In the **Select date format** field, select a date format.

   Note that bulk import of the date attribute type uses the date format selected here. The selected date format can't be changed. If the format needs to be changed, you must delete the attribute and create it again using the required format.

6. Click **Save**.

The date attribute with the specified settings is created.
