Goal
- Create a custom boolean attribute called "is_type" & default the value to "1"
- Assign custom attribute to a single attribute set
- Products assigned to this attribute set automatically have "is_type" set to 1 when the product is saved
Code
$eavSetup->addAttribute(
\Magento\Catalog\Model\Product::ENTITY,
'is_type',
[
'group' => 'General',
'type' => 'int',
'backend' => '',
'frontend' => '',
'label' => 'Is Type',
'input' => 'boolean',
'class' => '',
'source' => 'Magento\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute\Source\Boolean',
'global' => \Magento\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute\ScopedAttributeInterface::SCOPE_GLOBAL,
'visible' => 0,
'required' => 1,
'user_defined' => 0,
'default' => '1',
'searchable' => 1,
'filterable' => 0,
'comparable' => 0,
'visible_on_front' => 0,
'used_in_product_listing' => 1,
'is_used_in_grid' => 1,
'unique' => false,
'apply_to' => 'simple',
'attribute_set' => 'CustomAttributeSet'
]
);
I can see that the attribute is created, however, creating a new product and assigning the new product to "CustomAttributeSet" does not appear to assign the attribute to the product.
Edit:
Testing the product using the steps below, I see that the value is actually correct and assigned.
magerun dev:console
$di->get('Magento\Framework\App\State')->setAreaCode('frontend')
$di->create('Magento\Catalog\Model\Product')->load(2051)->getData('is_type')
I was expecting magento index:reindex && magento cache:clean
to update the Visual Merchandiser products for the category that I associated with this attributed. However, for whatever reason, I had to save the category in order to refresh Visual Merchandiser Products.
