Etsy attributes mappings

The Etsy Attributes Mappings is an important time-saving instrument in Valigara. During the Etsy post, it automatically fills the Etsy attributes for each Etsy listing individually, based on an existing product value or a fixed value, defined in Mappings. This allows posting multiple products, each one having unique parameters, together, in 1 Mass Post process.  

Each Etsy category can have it's own mapping, relevant to the specific type of the products.
