    Hi there,

    Is there a way to duplicate an attribute? I’m looking to duplicate two attributes and put all the variations into a completely new single attribute with a new name.

    Thanks for any help.

    I did it by creating a new product, adding the attribute and clicking Select All to add all of the terms to it. Save it and then export it.

    You’ll get a CSV file with the following columns that have the attribute items:

    Attribute 1 name
    Attribute 1 value(s)
    Attribute 1 visible
    Attribute 1 global

    For example:

    Attribute 1 name,Attribute 1 value(s),Attribute 1 visible,Attribute 1 global
    Sze,Junior|Senior,0,1

    Change the ‘Attribute 1 name’ value to your new Attribute – eg: Size 2
    Delete the ID column
    Change the SKU

    Import this product – when it creates this new import the new Attribute will be created and all the values added.

    Delete the new products when you’re done.

    Hi sean, thanks for your reply, I am new to WooCommerce so I find this a little confusing (sorry). Is this the easiest way to merge two attributes (only colour variations) into a new single attribute?

    I wish to keep the original two attributes, just copy both variations into one new one.

    There’s no built in way to merge attributes like that.

    But if you use this CSV import method it will work.

    For two attributes you could create 2 new products – one for each of the existing attributes, export and edit like above.
