 * [2 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-7-8-0-creates-a-adding-new-attribute-failed-error/)
 * As detailed on Github ([https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/38755](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/38755))
   there is an error impacting version 7.8.0 of WooCommerce whereby an “Adding new
   attribute failed” error appears whenever a product is opened or edited.
 * Changing themes and turning off plugins makes no difference, and as per the Github
   thread this is impacting many users that have upgraded to 7.8.0.
 * System report for you.

 * Is Woo aware of this error message after the last update? It happens when updating
   an existing product that already has variations.

 * I’ve had no response on this forum, but I did receive an email stating “Your 
   support request has been submitted to our team of Happiness Engineers. Rest assured
   that your email arrived safely and our support team will be in touch as soon 
   as we can.” I’ve submitted the issue directly to WooCommerce.com too, but I’ve
   never received feedback from them unless its been about a plugin bought on that
   platform.

   up when browsing or editing a product. Pretty annoying.

 * Oh thank Grud, I thought it was only me! Managing 3 Woo sites and they all started
   kicking this error out in the past week. At first I thought it was one of the“
   product bundle” plugins I was testing, but when it started appearing on the other
   two, and one was a fresh install, I knew something was up. Has anyone tried downgrading
   to an earlier Woo version and confirmed that the error is gone?

   pushed the button too soon on this update.

 * I’ve received a response from WooCommerce (no idea why they didn’t reply to this
   thread):
   “Thanks for reaching out to WooCommerce.com support. **The issue you
   mention has been fixed ([in this pull request](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/38755))
   and is awaiting a release date.** It should be noted that there was some difficulty
   in reproducing the issue. The developer commented: 
 * **How to reproduce the issue in #38755**
 * A few scenarios where this can be seen:
    - Load “All Products” and quickly click a product to edit it, or sort the list
      by clicking one of the column headers
    - Load a product to edit it and quickly navigate to a different page
 * These can be difficult to reproduce if the timing isn’t right. I found that setting
   my network throttling to “Wi-Fi” in the Network tab of the browser developer 
   tools made it more likely that this occurred.
 * **Also, as mentioned, I have only seen this happen in Firefox.**
 * It appears that this might also be occurring when [code automatically adds an attribute](https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/issues/38917),
   but fails to complete.
    Unfortunately, at this time, I’m unable to provide a 
   timeframe for a release of this fix. Please let us know if you have any further
   questions. We will be happy to help.”
 * I have replied advising that the issue is happening in Chrome and Edge as well
   as Firefox, and that switching from WiFi to LAN makes no difference – it happens
   instantly on every site the second I attempt to edit any product.
   Let’s hope 
   that 7.8.1 is released with a fix soon.

 * Super thanks for your feedback!
 * Anyone know how we can get back to 7.7.2?
 * What are the risks?
 * Thanks 😉
