2- Open the spreadsheet

Once you create the attribute, you need to go to Sheet Editor > Edit Categories, Tags, Attributes, Taxonomies. Then, click on Edit Product Seats to open the spreadsheet.

Once there, you need to click on Add new to add a new field and give it the Seat 1 name. Then, click on Save to apply the change.

If you’re working on Excel, save the changes and close the file.
