to edit WooCommerce product variation?"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Bulk edit Woocommerce product variation is useful when you need to assign a combination of attributes to multi-products at the same time.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the <a href=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/plugins\/woocommerce-bulk-product-editing\/?utm_source=kb&amp;utm_content=bulk-edit-variation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PBULKiT &#8211; Bulk Edit WooCommerce Products &#8211; plugin<\/a> we provided a specific button called \u201c<strong>Variation<\/strong>\u201d on the main page to help you bulk edit product variation very fast and easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can assign any combination of these attributes to any products you preferred at the same time in our plugin by following below steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 1: Filter variable products&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To filter products in our plugin, you can use \u201c<strong>Filter Form<\/strong>\u201d or \u201c<strong>Quick Search<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this tutorial, we are going to assign some attributes and bulk edit variations of \u201cshirts\u201d in our online store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, we used \u201c<strong>Quick Search<\/strong>\u201d to find the products with shirt in their titles as below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Type \u201c<strong>shirt\u201d<\/strong> in the text box<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select \u201c<strong>title\u201d <\/strong>from the next Combo box&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose like as the condition for searching<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, by clicking on the filter icon those products were filtered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> If you choose simple products and assign variation to them, the product type converted to variable automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a

adding those columns under attributes field to the table as we did in the below picture:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a

\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In this new page, you have to specify:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Which attributes do you need to bulk edit?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Which attributes are related to those variations you need to assign to the products?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do you need all combinations of those attributes to be assigned to the products or you need to specify some individual combinations?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>To set the variations, attributes and their combinations, three separate fields have been designed in the variation bulk edit page including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Product attributes:<\/strong> by clicking on the combo box under this field, a list including all attributes will be displayed and you can choose as many attributes as you need from it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Select Attributes:<\/strong> As soon as choosing any attributes, a new field will appear under this field which enables you to choose the terms of attributes related to that variation from the list.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>How to Create variations:<\/strong> In this part, you can choose which combinations to be assigned to the products.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>To better understand how to use these fields follow the below example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Example of assigning all combinations<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For example consider that you have two variations with some attributes as shown in the below table related to them and you need to assign a combination of them to some of your products<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Attributes<\/td><td>Terms<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Color<\/td><td>Blue, Red, Yellow, Grey<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Size<\/td><td>Large, Medium, Small<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, to add all combinations of \u201cGray\u201d, \u201cRed\u201d and \u201cLarge\u201d, \u201cSmall\u201d to our filtered products we need to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Choose \u201cColor\u201d and \u201cSize\u201d from the \u201c<strong>Product
