2026-02-17: CE: Classification Categories

Overview

The new classification categories and attribute inheritance capability enables catalog and product managers to structure large product assortments with enterprise-grade consistency and control. Reusable classification schemas define which attributes are relevant for a given category, and these attributes are automatically inherited by all subcategories and products.

This translates into a reduction in manual maintenance, fewer errors, and a faster time-to-market for new products. By reusing the existing mixin model, the solution integrates seamlessly into today's product data structures and scales across complex B2B catalogues with thousands of categories and items.

The result is a cleaner, governed product catalogue that directly supports better findability, more relevant search and filtering, and higher conversion in customer channels.

New features

Feature	Benefit
Reusable classification schemas	Makes catalog setup faster and lowers implementation effort by reusing schemas across many categories.
Schema to category mapping	Improves data quality by ensuring every category always has the right, complete set of attributes.
Category and attribute inheritance	Teams classify products in child categories and automatically inherit parent attributes. That improves consistency, speeding time-to-market, and reducing manual effort.
Unified mixin model for classification	Simplifies integrations and reduces custom code by using one consistent extensibility model.
