 * Hello Woocommerce team,
 * is it possible to make attributes inherited from category or from a “sample” 
   product ?
 * i have many categories in my store, and i need each category to have its own 
   attributes and based on these attributes i want each category to have its own
   variations.
 * this is an example of categories and attributes that i want to go with it :
 * Cars (Brand – Model – Year – Engine – Energy …)
    Appartements (Space – Rooms –
   Balcony – Parking …) Clothes (Color – Size – Cut – Material – Tissue …) Mobiles(
   Memory – OS – Camera – Screen size … )
 * and while adding a product in category “Cars” i need to see only “Attributes”
   of cars category and in front end, when someone is looking for a product, and
   if he is choosing Cars category, i want him to see only “Cars” variations.
 * plz advice me how it is possible to do this, because i really really extremely
   need it.
 * Thank you very much 🙂

 * This is not possible out of the box – it would need to be added with customisation.
   we are considering attribute groups for a future version.

 * Hello Mr. Mike, Thnx for reply
 * but i think attributes groups is not what iam looking for, because with attributes
   groups, i should choose the attribute during the process of adding product. but
   what i want is to load attributes automatically in product based on the category
   that vendor decided to publish this product on.
 * i have a multi vendor store, so vendors r not so professopnal to know woocommerce
   rules, they need something clear and easy.
 * Thnx a lot 🙂

 * Similar but not quite the same. You need to do this via customisation, but it
   may be tricky if attributes must change with the category.

 * i think it would be something like this :
 * – while adding attributes, we could have an additional multi select that allows
   which categories we want to link attributes to.
 * – then on product page, while adding a new product, i’ll make category selection
   to come first, then, when client selects category, it will load attributes of
   this category automatically using ajax.
 * the concept could sound a bit tricky, but after thinking we could come up with
   a good solution

   solution for it while adding product, and while filtering products results ?
