Assigning catalog organization attributes to subcatalog categories

A subcatalog organization can assign attributes of the catalog organization to its own categories. Child categories that are managed by the subcatalog organization inherit these assigned attributes.

If a catalog organization assigns attributes to a category containing subcategories that are managed by a subcatalog organization, the subcatalog’s categories do not inherit the attributes.

Additionally, a subcatalog organization can assign attribute values to its own categories and items. Child categories and items inherit these assigned attribute values. However, a subcatalog organization cannot assign attribute values to categories and items managed by the catalog organization. These assigned attribute values are not inherited by items that are managed by the catalog organization.

For example, if the subcatalog organization XYZ-Retail assigns the Size attribute values to its XYZ-Retail clothing category and the XYZ-Retail clothing category contains items managed by the catalog organization, the Size attribute values are assigned only to the items managed by XYZ-Retail. The Size attribute values are not assigned to the items managed by the catalog organization.
