    Hello,

    I need to make a variation only feed with some attributes pulled from the parent and others from the variation itself.

    Snippet:
    [alg_product_list_attribute name=”pa_color” use_parent_id=”yes”]
    [alg_product_list_attribute name=”pa_size”]

    However, this pulls the parent data for both attributes, i.e: Color: Red / Size: 40, 41, 42, etc
    I have also tried use_parent_id=”no” for Size with the same result.

    Whereas if use:
    [alg_product_list_attribute name=”pa_color”]
    [alg_product_list_attribute name=”pa_size”]

    It returns Color: [empty] / Size: 40

    What this feed requires is color pulled from the parent and size pulled from the variation and then the same for several other attributes, but no matter how much I play around with use_parent_id it always gives me all data from parent or all data from variation.

    Best regards

    Hi Pareidolia,

    Is Color in this case an attribute that’s used for variation? Or just in the parent product?

    I mean having 2 colors & 2 sizes will produce 4 product variations? Just trying to understand how the final feed should look like.

    Only size is used for variations, color and every other attribute are just for the parent.

    For example the parent attributes might be:
    Size: 40, 41, 42
    Color: Red
    Material: Leather
    Brand: ABC

    The variations in that case are:
    40
    41
    42

    And what I’m trying to get in the variation only feed is just one size per item with some parent attributes. If I don’t attach use_parent_id to any shortcode I get the correct size attribute but all parent-only attributes are empty. If I do attach use_parent_id in even one shortcode then all shortcodes output the parent attribute, including the one for size which means it lists all sizes instead of one for each item.

    I hope that makes sense.

    Quick update:

    I deleted that feed and started again and it just works, I’m not sure what I missed the first time.
