# Create Attribute Set

Creates a new attribute set for the tenant from the supplied name and optional Product and
Variant form layouts, returning the created attribute set and a Location header pointing to it.
            
The Product and Variant layouts behave differently when omitted: an omitted productLayout
falls back to a standard default layout, whereas an omitted variantLayout is not created
at all (no Variant layout is stored). A Variant layout can be added later with
PATCH /v2/AttributeSets({id}).
            
## Authentication
            
Requires a valid API key in the X-API-KEY header.
            
## Request Body
            
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| name | ✅ Yes | Unique name for the attribute set within the tenant. |
| productLayout | ❌ No | Form layout for Products. Defaults to the standard layout when omitted. |
| variantLayout | ❌ No | Form layout for Variants. When omitted, no Variant layout is created (it can be added later via PATCH). |
            
## Layout Structure
            
Each layout is a JSON document with a sections array. Each section has a title and a rows
array. Each row has a fields array and an optional divider (dividerType, dividerTitle).
Each field carries an attributeId and a size.
            
json
{
  "sections": [
    {
      "title": "General",
      "rows": [
        {
          "fields": [
            { "attributeId": "prod_title", "size": "half" },
            { "attributeId": "prod_ref",   "size": "half" }
          ]
        },
        {
          "dividerType": "normal",
          "dividerTitle": "Details",
          "fields": [
            { "attributeId": "prod_description", "size": "row" }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

            
size — width of the field in the form grid. One of: quarter, half, threeQuarters, row.
            
dividerType — optional visual separator above the row. One of: normal, wide, lineBreak.
dividerTitle is optional and only meaningful when dividerType is set.
Both properties are omitted from rows that have no divider.
            
## Layout Validation
            
A layout may contain any subset of the tenant's valid attributes — you do not need to
include all of them. Attributes omitted from the layout simply do not appear in the form
for this attribute set; they are not removed from the tenant.
            
If a layout is supplied it must satisfy all of the following rules; otherwise the request
returns 400 Bad Request describing each failure:
            
- Every attributeId included must exist for the entity type (Products or Variants) in the tenant's storage definition.
- No attributeId may appear more than once across the entire layout.
- Each field size must be one of: quarter, half, threeQuarters, row.
- The sum of field sizes within any single row must not exceed a full row.
- Every row must contain at least one field.
- Section title values must be unique (case-insensitive).
- When a row sets dividerType it must be one of: normal, wide, lineBreak.
            
### Required attributes
            
These attributes must always be present in their respective layout:
            
| Layout | Required attribute IDs |
|---|---|
| productLayout | typ_id, prod_ref, prod_title, cat_ref, prod_stat, prod_description, prod_image, prod_tags |
| variantLayout | frmt_stat, prod_ref, frmt_ref, frmt_tags |
            
            
## Response
