# Attribute Selection ***SOS***

 * I am facing a difficulty when adding products to my site.
 *  When creating a product’s its taking me so long because i have to select the
   attributes from a dropdown menu.
 *  As i create many products daily and have lots of attribute this is proving very
   time consuming.
 * I would love if the attributes fields were auto selected so i just type them 
   in.
 * There must be some type of plugin or a way to edit code to solve this

 * You can use the CSV importer to do it much faster!

 * Hi [@edstead](https://wordpress.org/support/users/edstead/)
 * I am not aware of any plugin or code solutions for this, but as [@seank123](https://wordpress.org/support/users/seank123/)
   suggested, the easiest way would be to use a CSV file to import the products 
   and attributes.
 * Another way if the attributes are the same for all products would be to set them
   up once as global attributes – [https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/managing-product-taxonomies/#section-8](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/managing-product-taxonomies/#section-8)
 * Then when you add them to the product you do not need to type them, you can just
   select them from a dropdown like this;
 * ⌊Attributes⌉⌊Attributes⌉

 * We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved–
   if you have any further questions, you can start a new thread.
