dropdown-attributemagento-2.1programmaticallysimple-product

Can any one help me? When I create simple product in GUI I can set color value by dropdown menu.

My question is:
How to assign color value programmatically, when I create simple product? I have spend whole day searching a way do to it.

Best Answer

$attr = $_product->getResource()->getAttribute('color');
$avid = $attr->getSource()->getOptionId('Blue'); //name in Default Store View
$_product->setData('color', $avid);

I found the answer from here for a simple product. I post here the code because the post I am referring to does not point out which Product Attribute value should be used.

Most probably it is a configuration issue. In system->configuration->Color Swatches Pro->Reload Product Information is set to none.

Magento – Getting custom attribute value from simple product load based on product collection

Have you looked at the prototype for getUsedProducts? It's public function getUsedProducts($requiredAttributeIds = null, $product = null) so you can call getUsedProducts(array(id_of_your_attribute), $product)

Looping through that array and then loading each child is probably not the most efficient way of doing what you're after. You could either add the other attributes you need to the getUsedProducts, or if there's lots and adding by id doesn't make sense, just use getUsedProductCollection and add call addAttributeToSelect or addAttributeToFilter yourself, see what getUsedProducts does itself:

if (is_array($requiredAttributeIds)) {
    foreach ($requiredAttributeIds as $attributeId) {
        $attribute = $this->getAttributeById($attributeId, $product);
        if (!is_null($attribute))
            $collection->addAttributeToFilter($attribute->getAttributeCode(), array('notnull'=>1));
    }
}
