README

Import product attributes from a CSV file via Magento CLI, with support for add / update / delete, option labels per store, default values, and assignment to attribute sets and groups. Also supports bulk deletion of attribute sets from CSV.

Installation

composer require aimanecouissi/module-catalog-product-attributes-import
bin/magento module:enable AimaneCouissi_CatalogProductAttributesImport
bin/magento setup:upgrade
bin/magento cache:flush

Usage

Run the importer against a CSV located relative to var/:

bin/magento catalog:product:attributes:import <csv> [-t|--type <attribute|attribute-set>] [-b|--behavior <add|update|delete>]

Options:

• --type (default attribute): attribute or attribute-set.
• --behavior (default add): for attributes use add|update|delete; for attribute-set, only delete.
• Verbose output: add -v, -vv, or -vvv for detailed logs (warnings, merges, store mapping, option de-dup, etc.).

CSV Quick Reference

General

• Header row required. Values are comma-separated; lists inside a cell use semicolon ;.
• Store-scoped columns use suffixes, e.g., label_fr, option_en, option_de.

When --type=attribute

• Required: attribute_code
• Common (optional): label, input, default, apply_to, attribute_set, group, sort_order, group_order, attribute_set_order, label_{storeCode}
• Options (for select / multiselect without a source model): option, option_{storeCode}, option_order, option_strategy (replace or merge by default)

When --type=attribute-set

• Required: attribute_set — names or IDs to delete (default set is never deleted).
• Only with --behavior=delete.

Sample CSV

A starter file is included at Files/catalog_product_attributes_import_sample.csv. Copy it, keep the header, and fill rows with your data.

Examples

1) Add a new color select with options and translations

attribute_code,label,input,option,option_fr,default,attribute_set,group,sort_order,option_order
color,Color,select,Red;Green;Blue,Rouge;Vert;Bleu,Green,Default,General,10,10;20;30

bin/magento catalog:product:attributes:import imports/attributes.csv

2) Update existing size (merge new options)

attribute_code,label,input,option,default,attribute_set,group
size,Size,select,XS;S;M;L;XL,M,Default,General

bin/magento catalog:product:attributes:import imports/size.csv --behavior update

3) Replace existing options for material

attribute_code,label,input,option,option_strategy
material,Material,select,Cotton;Linen;Wool,replace

bin/magento catalog:product:attributes:import imports/material.csv --behavior update

4) Delete attribute sets by name

attribute_set
Legacy Set;Obsolete Set

bin/magento catalog:product:attributes:import imports/sets.csv --type attribute-set --behavior delete

Notes

• Lists inside cells are semicolon-separated (e.g., Red;Green;Blue).
• For multiselect, the backend is set automatically; defaults can be single or semicolon-separated.
• Changing an attribute’s input type is allowed but warned in output; ensure data compatibility.
• Verify results in Admin → Stores → Attributes → Product and in assigned Attribute Sets.
