Undelete an attribute

    I accidently deleted an attribute. I would like to ask whether there is way to restore it like from some kind of a recycle bin?
    I would guess it is still in some db table, but I don’t know in which one.
    I have a few hundred products using it, so if I make a new one with the same name would be really hard, because I would have to set it by hand one by one.

    Sadly there is no trash for attributes/terms as WP doesn’t support that natively. Do you keep backups?

    I do, but the latest is 2-days-old ??
    So it’s not lingering somewhere in the DB? If I open a product, which used to have it, there is an empty space in product variations where it used to be. Lets say a product has green, yellow and white variations, I deleted the white one and now the list of variations is green, yellow, (any).

    If you add it back, the data at product level might be there, but the terms won’t be (terms are things like categories – there is no trash for these).

    I solved my problem with the help of a bulk editor I have been using.
    I filered all variations, which had the deleted attribute and replaced it with a newly added one. Apparently attributes don’t get completely removed from DB.
