Issue Description:

There has been a couple back to back issues in relation to some code that auto adds an attribute to new products. See this last issue and the fix.
One problem is that if the attribute creation request fails for any reason we get a alert that the attribute failed to create, this can be confusing for the user if they just loaded the product add new page. We would only want to limit this to when a user manually adds an attribute.

The main goal of the issue is to look at the code, see if things could be simplified, in order to prevent more edge cases for bugs.
