Product or Variation Property. Section settings are set for a property by propertyId. The property identifier can be obtained using the methods catalog.productProperty.list and catalog.productProperty.get.

Catalog Sections. The settings are associated with sections of the product catalog and are returned by the object catalog_product_property_section. The sectionId field in this object contains the section identifier. A value of 0 is returned for general settings.

Smart Filter. The fields of the section settings determine how the property is displayed in the catalog filter:

• smartFilter — whether to show the property in the filter,
• displayType — how to display the property: checkboxes, radio buttons, or a dropdown list,
• displayExpanded — whether to expand the property block in the filter,
• filterHint — what hint to show the user.
