 * Hi,
 * Is it possible to add a manually edited product_type to a google feed? (i.e. 
   so I can type in the content individually).
 * I started by adding the left & right fields as per your instructions, but no 
   new fields have appeared on my product pages.
 * Thanks

 * Hi,
 * To start with your second remark. Our plugin creates product feeds, it doesn’t
   add anything to your product pages.
 * I am not sure what you mean by your first question? You can add so-called static
   values to any field you add. See: [https://adtribes.io/how-to-use-static-values-and-create-fake-content-for-your-product-feed/](https://adtribes.io/how-to-use-static-values-and-create-fake-content-for-your-product-feed/)
 * Not sure if this answers your question?
 * All the best,
    Eva

 * Apologies, I didn’t explain myself very well at all. I’ll start again with just
   one question;
 * When I first set the feed up, various Google Shopping Attributes were mapped 
   to Product Attributes. These appeared on my product pages where I could fill 
   them in.
 * To add the Product Type attribute, I followed the instructions in your post [https://adtribes.io/how-to-use-static-values-and-create-fake-content-for-your-product-feed/](https://adtribes.io/how-to-use-static-values-and-create-fake-content-for-your-product-feed/),
   but this field has not appeared.
 * What am I doing wrong please?

 * Hi,
 * When you want to add the g:product_type to your Google shopping feed it needs
   to have the format as described on this page:
    [https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/6324406?hl=en](https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/6324406?hl=en)
 * Our plugin automatically adds it to your product feed when you add the following
   field mapping to your feed configuration:
    [https://www.dropbox.com/s/uv56puf2tm2992m/g-product-type.png?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/uv56puf2tm2992m/g-product-type.png?dl=0)
 * Just hit the orange “+ Add field mapping” and you can add the above field mapping.
 * All the best,
    Eva

 * Hi Eva,
 * That’s all working fine thanks. However, if possible, what I’d like to do is 
   add some additional product levels.
 * I tried mapping g:product_type with Woosea Custom Field 2 (Custom attribute),
   but that didn’t seem to work.
 * Is it possible to do this?
 * Thanks,
    Will

 * Hi will,
 * When your products all have some value filled in for the woosea custom field 
   2 on the product edit pages then it should work fine when you map that attribute
   to the g:product_type field. The g:product_type field will then hold the values
   you filled in in the woosea custom field 2 attribute.
 * What exactly did not work with that?
 * Best,
    Eva

 * Hi Eva,
 * I’ve saved the changes and flushed the caches etc, but Custom Field 2 hasn’t 
   appeared on the product pages – so I can’t fill it in. (All the other have – 
   inc Custom Field 1)

 * Hi Will,
 * It really should work. I have just tested it for both simple and variants. These
   are the steps I took:
 * First I enabled woosea custom field 2 so it would show on the product edit pages:
   
   [https://www.dropbox.com/s/a4f9ywtguhd47zr/enable-1.png?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/a4f9ywtguhd47zr/enable-1.png?dl=0)
 * Then I filled in some values for both simple and variant products:
    [https://www.dropbox.com/s/pns5jozxgbpk7jc/enable-2.png?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/pns5jozxgbpk7jc/enable-2.png?dl=0)
   [https://www.dropbox.com/s/78w8o1x5y26wl1o/enable-6.png?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/78w8o1x5y26wl1o/enable-6.png?dl=0)
 * And made sure to map the woosea custom field 2 to the g:product_type field:
    
   [https://www.dropbox.com/s/6lmakvstonopk57/enable-4.png?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/6lmakvstonopk57/enable-4.png?dl=0)
 * I then manually reprocessed the product feed. This is the result:
    [https://www.dropbox.com/s/jdicaxfy2f9nny0/enable-5.png?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/jdicaxfy2f9nny0/enable-5.png?dl=0)

 * So I believe it works just fine? Maybe you forgot the first step, to enable the
   woosea custom field 2 field?
 * Hope this helps.
 * All the best,
    Eva

   I am going to close this topic for now for housekeeping reasons.
