Hello
Where we can add "Vendor\Categoryattribute\CategoryThumbUpload" and can you please give me the example that file
Replace that thing with your actual third-party extension path.
I can not find where the field is added, what "general" section do you mean? I can not see a section with that name
Thanks
It's the first tab in the category.
I disappointed. Why did you post code that doesn't work?
I see new attribute in eav_attribute table but I doesn't see in admin panel.
Can you send us the code which you have tried, in case you have modified above code.
