Product attribute is gone

[StelarCreed]

Hi,

I have a problem with a configurable product.

Product attribute in the set. But i dont see it when i make a configurable product.

But others dropdown attributes are fine.

Here you can see my configurable product, manufacturer dropdown is gone but other dropdown are on the place:

Here is a simple product and it looks fine:

Any ideas.

Thanks

Update.

Here is a configurable product, manufacturer is gone and country of manufacturer is here,

and on virtual product both attributes are gone:

whats going on?

Manufacturer is your super attribute for configurable. When create configurable product with super attribute, at that time that super attribute is not displayed for the configurable product.

This is the default behavior of magento. You are creating configurable product using Manufacturer attribute and so on your manufacturer attribute is not display in configurable product only.

Thanks.

Dont understand why "Manufacturer" is super attribute.

So should i create another attribute, foe example "Brand" or is it possible to do something with "Manufacturer"?

Thankd

Hi @StelarCreed

Yes - for configurable product you can create  a new attribute - Brand (Whatever scope you would like to define - website or global) or any name which you would like to give !

In fact while creating configurable product - you will find button create a new attribute at the top right , so you can create it for the same !

You should create another attribute with the brand and keep as scope Website level so you dont have any issue related to the configurable product.
