One of the first steps when creating a product is to choose the attribute set to be used. The attribute set determines the fields that will be available during data entry and thus the values that will be visible to the customer.
Your store already has a set of attributes called "default," which includes a set of the most commonly used attributes. If you only want to include a few attributes, you can safely add them to this set. If, on the other hand, the products you handle need more fields and specific information, you'll want to create separate attributes.
Create an attribute set in Magento 2
- In the Admin Panel, select Stores -> Attribute ->AttributeSet
- Click on Add New Set and you will get this screen:
- In the Name field, enter the name of the attribute set
- In the Based on field, select a set of attributes that you want to use as a template
- Click on the Save to save and continue to the next page
- To add a new attribute, you can directly drag it from theUnassigned Attributes column to the Groups column. In case the attribute you want to include in the attribute set, is not present in the Unassigned Attributes column, it means you will have to create it.

- When you are finished, click Save to save.
