Provide variations of the option name if it's spelled differently in different languages or formats (e.g., Color, Colour, Couleur). In the admin settings: In the theme settings: If you want to use metafields for the criteria options, follow these steps: Create a metaobject with the key "product_specs_list" and add a field named "specs" (Single line text/One value). Populate the metaobject with entries representing different attribute values (e.g., "Dry Skin", "UV Protection"). Create a product metafield with the key "product_specs" (Metaobject/List of values) and link it to the previously created metaobject. Assign specific attribute values to each product via the product metafield on the admin product detail page. Fill in the key "product_specs" of the respective metafield in the "Criteria option" field.
