Today we are discussing how to add custom attributes/fields in category add/edit page in admin panel in magento2.
Firstly you have to create attribute for category.
For example: you have created an attribute with attribute_code: “category_test_field”.
Now, in magento 2.1.0 it does not displays the attributes by default in the form, to display attribute in category form you have to define it in ui_component.
Now, create a file under app/code/Webkul/Test/view/adminhtml/ui_component/category_form.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <form xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Ui:etc/ui_configuration.xsd"> <fieldset name="general"> <field name="category_test_field"> <argument name="data" xsi:type="array"> <item name="config" xsi:type="array"> <item name="sortOrder" xsi:type="number">50</item> <item name="dataType" xsi:type="string">varchar</item> <item name="formElement" xsi:type="string">input</item> <item name="label" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Commission Test Field</item> <item name="default" xsi:type="number">0</item> </item> </argument> </field> </fieldset> </form>
Here,
category_from.xml : file name should be same, because we add a field in existing form. category_form is already defined in magento/catalog to display form.
<fieldset name=’general’> : is the name of group in which you want to display your field.
<field name=’category_test_field’> : is the attribute code to set/get the values of attribute.
sortorder : is the number in which position you want your field in the form.
datatype : is the type of data in which it stores the data.
formelement : which type of form element you want to display for your attribute. for example: input, select, checkbox, etc.
label : label of the attribute.
default : default value to display.
