Overview

The Magekwik Attribute Set Limit module for Magento 2 enforces a maximum limit of 500 attributes per product attribute set. It prevents additional attributes from being assigned via the admin panel or API once the limit is reached, ensuring optimal performance and maintainability of attribute sets in large-scale Magento installations.

This module is designed for Magento 2 certified developers and store administrators who need to enforce strict governance over product attribute sets to prevent excessive complexity.

Features

• Enforces a configurable limit of 500 attributes per product attribute set.
• Blocks attribute additions via admin panel (Stores > Attributes > Attribute Set) and API calls.
• Provides clear error messages when the limit is exceeded.
• Compatible with Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce (2.4.x and later).

Installation

Via Composer (Recommended)

1. Add the module to your Magento project:

   composer require magekwik/attribute-set-limit

2. Enable the module and update the Magento setup:

   bin/magento module:enable Magekwik_AttributeSetLimit
   bin/magento setup:upgrade
   bin/magento cache:flush

Manual Installation

1. Clone or download the repository to app/code/Magekwik/AttributeSetLimit.
2. Run the following commands:

   bin/magento module:enable Magekwik_AttributeSetLimit
   bin/magento setup:upgrade
   bin/magento cache:flush

Usage

Once installed, the module automatically enforces a limit of 500 attributes per product attribute set. When attempting to add attributes beyond this limit via the admin panel or API, an error message will be displayed:

The attribute set cannot exceed 500 attributes.

Admin Panel

Navigate to Stores > Attributes > Attribute Set and edit an attribute set. The module checks the total number of attributes during save operations and prevents saving if the limit is exceeded. (in example we have used 60 as limit in Configuration Section)

API

When using the Magento API to assign attributes to a product attribute set (e.g., via Magento\Eav\Api\AttributeManagementInterface), the module will throw a LocalizedException if the limit is reached.

Configuration

The attribute limit is set to 500 by default and can be modified by updating the MAX_ATTRIBUTES_PER_SET constant in the following files:

• Plugin/AttributeManagementPlugin.php
• Plugin/AttributeSetPlugin.php

Ensure both constants are updated to maintain consistency.

Debugging

To verify the number of attributes in an attribute set:

• Database Query: Run SELECT COUNT(*) FROM eav_entity_attribute WHERE attribute_set_id = <your_set_id>;.
• Admin Panel: Manually count attributes in the attribute set edit page.
• Logging: Enable logging in Plugin/AttributeSetPlugin.php by injecting \Psr\Log\LoggerInterface and logging $totalAttributes.

Compatibility

• Magento Open Source: 2.4.x
• Adobe Commerce: 2.4.x
• PHP: 7.4, 8.0, 8.1
