Question

I have created a new product attribute in Magento using the admin panel. But I can’t find where to put a note for that attribute (that is the text that should display below the input field as extra info about it.)

Am I missing something, or is this not possible to implement in the admin panel?

This is an example of how a note on an attribute would look like:

I am using Magento 1.7 CE.

It’s not possible through the admin Panel.

By the way, you really should add your attributes programatically. (if you database crash, your done for).

What you need is to modify the column “note” of the eav_attribute table.

You can modify it with the updateAttribute() command in an upgrade script. Example :

$installer->updateAttribute(Mage_Catalog_Model_Product::ENTITY, 'color', 'note','my comment');
