Default field values
To save time when creating products, the default value of several product fields references values from another field. You can either accept the default value or enter another. The following fields have automatically generated default values:
Field | Default |
---|---|
SKU | Based on product name. |
Meta Title | Based on product name. |
Meta Keywords | Based on product name. |
Meta Description | Based on product name and description. |
The placeholders that represent the value of another field are enclosed in double-curly braces. Any attribute code that is included in the product attribute set can be used as a placeholder.
For a detailed list of these settings, see Product Fields Auto-Generation in the Configuration Reference.
Edit the placeholder value
-
On the Admin sidebar, go to Stores > Settings > Configuration.
-
In the left panel, expand Catalog and choose Catalog underneath.
-
Expand
For example, if there is a specific keyword that you want to include for every product or a phrase that you want to include in every meta description, enter the value directly into the appropriate field.
NOTE
If you want to keep the existing placeholder values, preserve the double curly braces that enclose each markup tag. -
When complete, click Save Config.
