A detailed look at how Bulk Edit Product Features & Combinations for PrestaShop 8 & 9 works, why we built it the way we did, and the thinking behind the features above.
Features filled in across the whole catalog, not product by product
Features (material, origin, warranty, compatibility) feed the product page, faceted filters and marketplace feeds. On a catalog of several hundred references, entering them product by product takes days. With dfbulkfeature, you tick the products in the native list, open Bulk actions > Manage features, choose the feature and the value: it is applied to the whole selection. A value that does not exist yet can be created from the modal, in every language.
Change without overwriting everything
Change mode replaces one value with another only on the products that already have this feature: renaming “Org. cotton” to “Organic cotton” on 300 products leaves the products with no material filled in untouched. In Add mode, you choose to replace the current values or to add the value next to them, since PrestaShop 8 and 9 accept several values per feature.
Combinations generated in bulk, with the same rules as the generator
Manage combinations applies the logic of the PrestaShop generator to a whole selection. A product without combinations gets one combination per ticked value. A product that already has combinations is multiplied: with existing Red and Blue, adding Size S, M gives Red-S, Red-M, Blue-S, Blue-M, and the original combinations keep their stock and reference. Price impact, weight impact, quantity and reference (for example {ref}-{attr}, which gives TSHIRT01-red-s) are entered once for the operation. Removing a group merges the combinations that become identical and adds up their stock, instead of leaving duplicates.
See the result first, roll back afterwards
The Preview button calculates the operation without saving anything: number of products changed, already up to date or not concerned, combinations created, deleted or skipped because they already exist. After applying, each batch is recorded in a history. Undoing restores the features, or the combinations with their stock, specific prices and images, to their previous state.
A clean feature and attribute catalog
Under Catalog > Attributes & Features, the Bulk features tab lists every feature and every attribute group with their values and the number of products using them. There you rename in the language of your choice, merge duplicates (“red” and “Red”), delete in one go the values no product uses, and create complete features or attribute groups by pasting lines such as “Size: S; M; L; XL”.
