 * hi,
 * I would like to create a filter for the attribute colour. My main issue is that
   products are imported automatically from different suppliers that use different
   naming conventions, including attributes. For example:
 * `Product A from Supplier A has 3 colour attributes that are named as per model
   identifier: A1, A2, A3`
 * `Product B from Supplier B has 3 colour attributes that are named with model 
   identifier: B1, B2, B3`
 * However both:
 * – A1 and B1 are brown
    – A2 and B2 are black – A3 and B3 are white
 * I would like to be able to in some way keep the model identifier on the attribute
   thumbnail in the product page, but assign the colours as required to the different
   products attributes and have a “brown, black, white” in the filter.
 * The closest plugin I found that does this is yith product filter, however unfortunley
   it doesn’t merge the common labels into one.
 * PS: I cannot edit the slug since this is required for product sync/updates. Name
   is fine, however if I change that it also changes the tool tip on the thumbnail
   on the product page.
 * thank you

 * This can not be done out of the box. You may however be able to achieve this 
   by using a plugin like below:

 * hi,
 * thanks for your reply.
 * The wupo one doesn’t meet my needs after testing as it takes the entire current
   attribute.
 * However the first link might actually do the trick. Will need to test it.
 * will provide update once tested.
 * thanks

 * so actually both are quite gd.
 * having said that I might have explained myself incorrectly. Sorry quite new to
   this.
 * The grouping I need is for the terms inside the attribute (i think those would
   be the variations?)
 * So something like the plugins provided but with the ability to extract the terms
   in different groups uploaded an image to be a bit more clear: [https://imgur.com/OURws4H](https://imgur.com/OURws4H)
 * id like to extract those terms in a group of actual colours.
 * Not sure if a plugin for this exist, didn’t find anything but i might be using
   the wrong terms when searching.
 * thanks

 * actually never mind, I think I got the gist of this.
 * created a new attribute with the correct terms -> inside the product page under
   attribute, I added the new attribute and ticked “assign to variation” -> added
   the colour to the variation -> calling the new attribute in the product filter.
 * seems to work fine.
 * thanks
