- Turn on Only set if attribute is empty to fill gaps without overwriting values you already entered.
- For select and multiselect attributes, Create attribute value if missing lets you add new options on the fly. Handy when you introduce a new value.
- For text attributes, use Append to existing text to add to what is there instead of replacing it.
