Category Attributes
This tool is especially useful for those installing the module on an existing store, particularly one with a large number of categories and products, as well as for those working with data parsing. Manually creating Category Attributes is a time-consuming process, and when parsing, it's often unclear which Attributes a product will include.

Be sure to select categories in the filter tree. The tool will collect all Attributes from the products belonging to the selected category and group them into Category Attributes.
If a product belongs to multiple categories, the Attributes of all these categories will be combined for each of them. Make sure your category structure is well-organized, or remember to remove any unnecessary attributes after the task is completed.
If the Assign category attributes to products option is enabled, the tool will also add Attributes and their Values to all products in the selected category.
The assignment or addition of Attributes to products follows the settings in Adding/Removing Category Attributes.
Adding Category Attribute Values to products follows the Method specified in Adding Attribute Values to Products.
You may have already created Category Attributes, for example, using the Drag-and-Drop method, and only need to add them to products. In this case, disable the Generate a set of attributes for the category option and run the task with only the Assign category attributes to products option enabled!
Adding Duty Templates only occurs if the Duty Templates themselves contain information. If you need to add Attributes even with empty Values, choose the Method Keep.
For large stores:
Do not select too many categories at once. Hosting environments may have execution time limits, increasing the risk of operation failure due to timeouts.
Once the task is completed, a confirmation message will be displayed, for example:
✅ Success! Operation completed. Category attributes generated: 12. Attributes added to products: 758.
