When selecting an Attribute filter on a Products Archive page; - the breadcrumbs are reset to ‘Shop / Home’. I understand that various products could have for instance the same ‘colour’ attribute. …but
should Breadcrumbs then not display specifics to the attribute selected?; - instead they display the name set as if it where on the Shop page. Not 100% sure this is a bug but could the breadcrumbs not perhaps display the attribute instead or a statement of ‘Various’ instead of making the user know where they are on the page.
The issue is more UX than anything else. I find it counter-interactive. Is there a solution?
Edit: Tested again this morning and yes, I think the attribute filter should be noticed in the breadcrumbs as it does when using the search filter.
the breadcrumbs element shows on which page you currently are. So if you’re on the shop page and use the filter, you’re still on the shop page. You won’t get redirected to something like a search results page or something. That’s why the breadcrumb stays as it is.
Apologies for not mentioning the page. I don’t use attributes filters like ‘colour’ and ‘size’ on my Shop page but rather only on the Product Category page. So when on the product category page(individual template) and I select a ‘Filter by Colour’ option; - the breadcrumbs get reset to display as if you were on the Shop/Home page.

You’re welcome. But just to reiterate, the filters have nothing to do with the breadcrumb, and it shouldn’t change when you filter, since you’re still on the same page.
But in general, the path within a category should of course show the category and not just Home / Shop. I just added that to our todos.
The Filter for ‘Other’ > ‘Product Search’ does change the breadcrumbs as per my site
URL/shop/female-clothing/womens-tshirts/ladies-long-sleeve-t-shirts/)/Search results for “test”
…so there is some kind of correlation with breadcrumbs and filters.
I would like to see this functionality for attributes as well.
