 * OOTB woocommerce does not support Attribute Type in “Products / Attribute / Add
   new” section.
   One of the plugins feature is also that it adds support for “Attribute
   Type” in “Products / Attribute / Add new” section. Unfortunately you cannot edit
   that “Attribute Type” after attribute is added. Can you please change this and
   allow changing “Attribute Type”?

 * Hi [@jsssolutions](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jsssolutions/) ,
   Sorry,
   but I am not clear about the issue you are facing. Are you sure you are reaching
   to the right place since our plugin won’t interfere with editing the Attributes.
 * You can still add new ones or editing the current ones properly with the latest
   version of our plugin. I can confirm this after testing on our dev site: [https://prnt.sc/jjC1io26JjGO](https://prnt.sc/jjC1io26JjGO)
 * Or did you mean something else? Please be more specific with images of backend
   settings or product links instead?
 * In case you might miss some steps in configuring the swatches, please refer to
   the doc here: [https://doc.wpclever.net/wpcvs/](https://doc.wpclever.net/wpcvs/).
 * Best regards.

 * If you check your printscreen, you will see this is “Add new” page. Please select
   one Attribute and hit Edit. Then check what is on the left side – you should 
   see “Type” and some other are missing (default WP behaviour).
 * I have used new instance of WP with default WP theme to test this since initially
   I thought one of other plugins broke something, but the result was the same.
