Update composite attributes

Attributes such as footwear size and nutritional composition are composite in nature, and hence they are a combination of multiple interdependent attributes. Such attributes cannot be updated partially or individually. If you want to update one of the values against these attributes, then you must perform a partial update against all the interdependent attributes irrespective of whether or not you are changing values for all of them.

For example, the attribute footwear size is a combination of the following attributes:

• Age Range Description
• Footwear Size System
• Shoe Size Age Group
• Shoe Size Gender
• Shoe Size Class
• Shoe Size Width
• Shoe Size

To change the size of a product, you must update the Shoe size value. However, if you update a value such as Shoe size age group, then make sure you update all the related fields. For more information about the valid combinations, go to Shoe Size Standards.

Example 1 – Update shoe size
