 * Hello! Recently we started noticing that some products started to add themselfs
   attributes, the “Used for variations” state was unchecked but now it is!
 * How we can track it and fix this issue?
   I attached URL to the product that had
   only one variation and it is “Size” but now it has two variations: “Size” and“
   Age”. This is very strange
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fvariations-problem-6%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi there!
 * That does sound unusual. WooCommerce itself doesn’t automatically change product
   attributes or toggle the “Used for variations” setting on its own.
 * To help us better understand what might be causing this, could you let us know
   if any changes were made on your site recently—such as updating plugins, adding
   new integrations, or importing products—after which you started noticing this
   behavior?
 * Additionally, I’d recommend installing an activity log plugin like [Activity Log](https://wordpress.org/plugins/aryo-activity-log/).
   It can help track changes on your site, including who made them and when, which
   might help pinpoint what triggered the attribute change.

 * It seems we haven’t heard back from you for a while, so I’ll go ahead and mark
   this thread as resolved. Feel free to reach out whenever you’re ready to continue.
 * If you have a few minutes, we’d love if you could leave us a review: [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce/reviews/](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce/reviews/)
