Thank you for waiting

Please check this example if you want to create a custom attribute with the code.

For your case, please check these instructions.

The editable parameter is required to make attributes editable in forms.

The filterable parameter is required if you want to show attributes in the filter form of some model (listing, vendor, etc.). Also, there can be sortable or searchable parameters to set to sort or search forms for some models.

edit_field parameters are required if you want to set the general structure of the attribute. It defines that this attribute contains text, number, or another type of content.

search_field parameters are required to set the attribute type for a filter, search, or sort form.

The _external parameter is required if you want to create the independent from some model selectable options for the attribute. So this parameter gives you complete control of selectable attribute options.

$attributes['test_attribute'] = [
			'editable'      => true,
			'filterable'    => true,

			'display_areas' => [
				'view_page_secondary',
			],

			'edit_field'    => [
				'label'     => 'Test attribute',
				'type'      => 'select',
				'options'   => [
					'test_1' => 'Test 1',
					'test_2' => 'Test 2',
					'test_3' => 'Test 3',
				],
				'_external' => true,
				'_order'    => 30,
			],

			'search_field'    => [
				'label'     => 'Test attribute',
				'type'      => 'select',
				'options'   => [
					'test_1' => 'Test 1',
					'test_2' => 'Test 2',
					'test_3' => 'Test 3',
				],
				'_external' => true,
				'_order'    => 30,
			],
		];
