We updated category attribute editing on Post Ad and Edit Ad pages after users asked for it.
The fields shown depend on the category selected. Pick Cars, Rooms for Rent, Apartments for Rent, Dogs, or another supported category, and the relevant attributes appear on post and edit pages.
Housing – bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, furniture, pet policy, and smoking policy for rentals and homes for sale. Rooms for Rent also get bathroom (private or shared), gender preference, number of roommates, and street address.
Vehicles – year, make, model, trim, mileage, title status, condition, color, body style, engine, transmission, fuel type, and drivetrain, depending on whether the listing is a car, truck, motorcycle, or similar.
Pets – breed, age, gender, and vaccination status for dog and cat listings.
For-sale items – condition where it applies.
The same attributes are available when posting a new ad and when editing an existing one.
1. Choose a category. The page loads the attributes that category supports from the server – one source of truth, not hard-coded per page.
2. Fields start collapsed under Optional, so the form stays clean. Open only what you need via links like Add Year, Add Breed, or Add Pet Policy. When several fields are still empty, Add optional details reveals the rest.
3. As you type the title and description, Claz recognizes attributes in the text and fills matching fields – for example, “2018 Honda”, “45k miles”, “unfurnished”, “no pets”, or “Rottweiler puppy”. Mention a detail once; you do not have to enter it twice.
4. If you clear a field or set it yourself, the system does not overwrite your choice when the text changes. Auto-filled values update only while they came from recognition – not values you saved on purpose.
5. Save the listing. Structured attributes make the ad easier to find, filter, and trust.
Search works best when listings describe what buyers actually filter on. Better attribute editing on post and edit pages means fewer vague ads, fewer repeat questions in messages, and better matches across housing, vehicles, pets, and more.
The updated structure also makes it straightforward to add attributes for more categories over time – the same pattern, driven by category.
