    In the backend, product attributes management allowed creation of text type attributes before.
    Now the type field is not shown anymore in the add new attribute box.

    The only way left to create a text attribute is in the product management.

    I was able to create global text attribute before and the wp_woocommerce_attribute_taxonomies database table still shows them as text type.

    I could not find any mention of this change of behavior in the documentation or 3.3.1 release notes.

    I need to have global text attributes, should I rollback?

    Please advise

  • Same here, trying to catch up without text attribute.
    Hope there will be something new or Text back.

    All, please refer to this GitHub link for an explanation:

    How can you actually tell people running real life stores and businesses, what best should suit them? Many people here and at other discussion boards (see Google for this) have mentioned that the existing solution was ideal for their businesses, and you literally removed it without prior discussion, feedback or explanative notice.

    Then, you have the audacity to tell people that they were simply not using a correct solution. Great thing that I’m in the process of moving several sites off of Woocommerce as this is a trend in the last year on several topics with official responses from Woocommerce developers.
