Attribute Facet and Value Replacements

This feature adds the ability to correct and/or consolidate attribute facets and attribute facet values. Two new tabs can be found within the Catalog screen, Attribute Facet Corrections and Attribute Facet Option Corrections.

The Update Attribute Facets button within the Attribute Facet tab will clear the attribute facet cache.

Facet Update Batch List

When a record(s) in the batch list is selected the action to Update Prompts becomes available.

Attribute Facet Action Options

The Update Prompts button will render a dialog in which text can be entered to update the attribute facet prompt. This Prompt value is what gets displayed to the customer when they are viewing facets on the category or search page.

Case Insensitive

Note that updating the Attribute Facet is case insensitive so it will update attribute facets which match both "Color" as well as "color"

Attribute Facet Update Confirmation

If we then look at the frontend, you'll see the facet for "Color" was changed to "Colors"

Facet Attribute Options

The same process can be applied to the Facet Attribute options. These are the specific options such as blue, red and white.

Let's say we wanted to change "Blue" to "Navy Blue". We can go to the Attribute Facet Options tab, select the blue option and change its Prompt to Navy Blue.

Update Prompts

When we view the front end, we will see this value get updated.

Important

1. Overriding the values here does not actually change the product attribute. These values are still the original

2. Product Lists pages (search, category) are cached for a default value of 4 hours. If you make a change and want to see it immediately, you'll need to run the scheduled task under Store Settings to force clear the cache.

Scheduled Tasks Delete Product Cache

Make sure All Cached Product List is selected, then run the task.

You should see your updated value as an attribute option:

Attribute Facet Option Frontend Update Facet Attributes

The primary call to action on these tabs is to "Update Facet Attributes" This process will rebuild the displayed list based on the current set of product attributes and options. When clicked you'll see this prompt:

Attribute Facet Options Confirmation

This will create a new background process to re-index the current set of product attributes and their options.
