The akeneo_value_format action allows you format akeneo specific attribute values. It needs akeneo attributes to match the correct attribute type.

This action manipulates values. This action can work with string values or standard data. This action is limited to data coming from akeneo.

Here’s an example of how you might use the akeneo_value_format action in a YAML file:

actions:
  remove_fields:
    action: akeneo_value_format
    fields: ['enabled']
    context:
      pim_catalog_boolean:
        label:
          Y: 'TRUE'
          N: 'FALSE'
      pim_catalog_metric:
        format: '%amount% %unit%'

In this example 2 akeneo attribute types are formatted into a string label type.

source:
  '%workpath%/attribute_options.csv'

actions:
  format_akeneo_values:
    action: akeneo_value_format
    fields: ['color']
    context:
      pim_catalog_simpleselect:
        source: attribute_options
        filter:
          attribute: '{attribute-code}'
          code: '{value}'
        return: 'labels-nl_BE'

In this example we will replace a value of type pim_catalog_simpleselect with a label value of nl_BE. The special {value} strings are being replaced by the items key-value, so if item['color']='red' then we populate the field value as attribute-code{attribute-code}=color and value {value}=red. We us lots akeneo naming-schemes here as this is an akeneo specific action.
