how to add/show Custom attribute to Magento Cart price rule Condition Dropdown

To day I will show you how to create Magento Cart price rule Condition based on custom attribute. However, when we went to create the rule – based on SKU – we realized that the conditions dropdown was no longer displaying the attributes as it had in the past. The dropdown looked something like this:

Please choose a condition to add…
Conditions Combination
Cart Item Attribute
 – Price In cart
 – Quantity in cart
 – Row total in cart
Product Attribute
 – Attribute Set
 – Category

The fix that worked for me:
In the Magento Admin Panel go to Catalog > Attributes > Manage Attributes

Select any attribute that you’d like to be able to sort by in the conditions list. On the edit-a-attribute page, under “Frontend Properties” set “Use for Promo Rule Conditions” to “Yes”. Save the attribute.
Then go to System > Index Management and re-index.

Now – when you go back to creating your Shopping Cart Price Rule, you will see your attribute in the conditions list.

 Simply add custom/existing attribute like this.
