Magento2: Product Attribute Delete Button not found.

[juanmrad]

I can't delete any product attribute since I can't select them or click any delete button. Also when editing them there is no delete option.

[juanmrad]

This is not a question is an issue you are supposed to be able to delete attributes from the backend.

[pboisvert]

@juanmrad To delete a product attribute, click on the one you wish to delete and once that loads you will see a "Delete Attribute" option at the top. Closing as not an issue

[juanmrad]

Look.

[pboisvert]

Can you provide system information such as Magento version and system configuration per the reporting guidelines? Also have you upgraded from an earlier version to a newer version?

[juanmrad]

Magento 2.1.0
Nginx Server.
No I haven't done any upgrades

Certain attributes can not be deleted as they're part of system-critical processes. A good example of this is the "sku" attribute, which is listed in product attributes, but can't be removed.

auto_bill is probably similar to that.

Things that you can delete via admin are usually the ones marked as "user defined" in DB in eav_attribute table. So if you, say, switch is_user_defined flag for "sku" attribute to be '1' and reload the attribute admin page for "sku", you'll get your delete button.

I would be cautious removing attributes that have it set to 0, but it might be just a mistake from whoever defined it in the 3rd party module installation scripts. In that case, you can fix it by manipulating the value in eav_attribute, but be sure absolutely sure that it does not break any module logic :)

Everything added via admin gets this flag automatically set to '1' which you can test by creating an attribute and editing it right after the creation.

see how where it says add attribute it should say delete?

also last five lines of magento2/var/log/system.log say
[2016-12-21 23:22:43] main.CRITICAL: Broken reference: No element found with ID 'delete'. [] []
[2016-12-21 23:25:01] main.CRITICAL: Broken reference: No element found with ID 'delete'. [] []

Looks like unrelated issue when compared with the OP's description.

But. It does look like something that deserves it's own ticket :)

"I can't delete any product attribute since I can't select them or click any delete button. Also when editing them there is no delete option." --op original statement

I'm willing to bet if he would look at his magento2/var/log/system.log there would be an enormous amount of

main.CRITICAL: Broken reference: No element found with ID 'delete'. [] []

I see that the delete element is in magento2/app/etc/di.xml. Do I not have correct permissions? I guarantee he and I are experiencing the exact same problem just on different pages. We both don't have a delete element,. There is only one delete element in magento2 amiright?

@juanmrad is this issue still actual?
We are not able to reproduce it. And as I see on the screenshot from the first message 'auto_bill' attribute is marked as system, so you should not have possibility to delete it.

[veloraven]

According to contributor guide, tickets without response for two weeks should be closed.
If this issue still reproducible please feel free to create the new one: format new issue according to the Issue reporting guidelines: with steps to reproduce, actual result and expected result and specify Magento version.

@juanmrad

1. Go to MySQL CLI and run:
   update eav_attribute set is_user_defined = 1 where attribute_code = 'auto_bill';

2. Go to admin panel: _Stores > Attributes: Products_ > Select auto_bill and delete it with top button
