How to extract color from YML param name="Color"

2026-06-29

Task

YML product characteristics are stored in repeated param nodes: Color, Material, and others. The import needs a separate color field.

Short answer

Open the param value and add a condition on attribute @name: regular expression ^Color$ (matches a value that is exactly Color).

How to do it in Eofferix

In the XML/YML snapshot, select the param value.
Open the value settings.
The animation shows opening settings for the selected value.
Add an export condition on @name: @name ^Color$.
This makes Eofferix take the value only from the needed repeated block.

result

<offers>
  <offer id="YML-11001"><name>Hudson lamp</name><color>white</color></offer>
  <offer id="YML-11002"><name>Parker chair</name><color>black</color></offer>
</offers>

What to keep in mind

Place the condition on the param value, not on the whole offer; otherwise you will filter products instead of selecting a characteristic.
If the supplier writes colour or Product color, replace the expression with the actual name.
