Custom Field Attribute Mapping

    We’re trying to do some attribute mapping. We need to map some custom fields to some Google for WooCommerce fields.

    Using your guide as a reference: https://woocommerce.com/document/google-for-woocommerce/attribute-mapping/use-cases/#mapping-custom-fields

    So i have custom fields added to my products using the hook “woocommerce_product_options_inventory_product_data”, this means the custom fields are displayed in the Inventory tab for each product.

    My field ids are: barcode, part_number, and _backorder_availability_date.

    barcode should map to GTIN, part_number should map to MPN, _backorder_availability_date should map to the Availability Date field.

    I’ve used the filter in your guide above (woocommerce_gla_attribute_mapping_sources_custom_attributes) to add the field keys to the mapping sources, so they do now appear in the dropdown list & I’ve created the mapping rules.

    However, I’m not sure the mapping is working as expected. If i update one of my Barcode values, it doesn’t seem to correctly update the GTIN field. Same for the part_number field, it doesn’t update the MPN field.

    i was expecting the target attribute to be updated in line with the data source but this doesn’t happen. do you have any ideas why? Am i missing something or misunderstanding how the mapping should work?

    Also, why i can’t select Availability Date as a target attribute? It means i can’t add my mapping rule from the data source _backorder_availability_date.

    Finally, does the mapping also work for variable products? My field keys for simple / variable products are the same but i don’t see any documentation about mapping variable products.

    Thanks

    Hi @shahzeenfarooq,

    Thank for the response, I’m not really sure you quite understand though.

    It’s not customisation. We’re just trying to use the existing filter that you provide via your documentation here – https://woocommerce.com/document/google-for-woocommerce/attribute-mapping/use-cases/#mapping-custom-fields – It doesn’t seem to work as expected.

    As stated, we’ve used the filter to add mapping between custom fields to the Google for Woocommerce fields doesn’t seem to be working. e.g. I update my field, and the mapped GTIN / MPN fields aren’t updated. Plus, why the Availability Date field isn’t available as a Mapping attribute option?

    Also, you didn’t answer my query about whether this setup works for variable products?
