Item Attributes Tab

Each item type has unlimited item attributes. For example, a book can have different languages and a fruit can have different origins. There are two types of item attributes, limited choice and free text.

Limited choice allows user to predefine all possible values of the attribute. For example, the size of a t-shirt has XS, S, M, L and XL. So you can enter “XS;S;M;L;XL”.
