 * Sorry to bothering you,
   I have a question for you please;I’ll try to explain:
 * 1 – I imported a csv file with about 700 woocommerce product;
   2 – All products
   have many Global Attributes;3 – in the manufacturer’s original catalog almost
   all products have the color attribute;4 – in the color attribute of the original
   catalog there are both real colors and patterns (so you can find colors like 
   red, blue, black, white… or patterns like: pois, pinstripe, striped etc.) ;5 –
   So I have Color Attribute which inside has many terms which are colors and patterns;
   6 – My goal is separate **TERMS (not attribute!!!)** which have patterns;7 – 
   I’ll wish to put these TERMS in a separate Attribute which is Image Type!Logically
   I cannot delete the terms and redo them because otherwise I would lose their 
   combination with the various productsIn other words:**I ask if it is possible
   in Woocomerce to move terms belonging to a color type attribute to another image
   type attribute.**
 * Thank so much
   Alberto K.

 * Hello [@famastyle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/famastyle/),
 * Thank you for reaching WooCommerce support and thank you for explaining your 
   requirement to us.
 * Unfortunately, the requirement that you’ve stated can be achieved only by writing
   a custom import function or by using custom SQL. There are no in-built functions
   to achieve this.
 * Hope this answers your question. Please do not hesitate to reach us if you have
   any other questions.
