You may have to insert data in \Data Dictionary\Tables\EcoResCategoryAttributeLookup  
Look at \Data Dictionary\Tables\EcoResCatalogControl\Methods\synchronizeCategoryAttributeLookup for the implementation.

You have to insert the data in \Data Dictionary\Tables\EcoResCategoryAttribute  
and then \Data Dictionary\Tables\EcoResCategoryAttributeLookup (for this use same approach as \Data Dictionary\Tables\EcoResCatalogControl\Methods\synchronizeCategoryAttributeLookup)

You may have to insert data in,  
EcoResProductInstanceValue  
EcoResAttributeValue  
EcoResValue (it has sub types depending on the attribute data type)

Look into the below methods for reference,  
\Forms\EcoResAttributeValue\Methods\attributeChanged  
\Forms\EcoResAttributeValue\Methods\createValue

Have you seen this? if you are unable to find the issue, please show us know your code.

public void createValue(EcoResValue newEcoResValue)  
{  
EcoResProductInstanceValue newEcoResProductInstanceValue;  
EcoResAttributeValue newEcoResAttributeValue;

ttsbegin;

// Create new EcoResValue record  
newEcoResValue.insert();

// Create EcoResProductInstanceValue record  
newEcoResProductInstanceValue = EcoResProductInstanceValue::findByProduct(callerMasterOrDistinctProduct.RecId);  
if (!newEcoResProductInstanceValue.RecId)  
{  
newEcoResProductInstanceValue.clear();  
newEcoResProductInstanceValue.Product = callerMasterOrDistinctProduct.RecId;  
newEcoResProductInstanceValue.insert();  
}

// Create EcoResAttributeValue record  
newEcoResAttributeValue = EcoResAttributeValue::findByInstanceAttribute(newEcoResProductInstanceValue.RecId, ecoResAttribute.RecId);  
if(!newEcoResAttributeValue)  
{  
newEcoResAttributeValue.clear();  
newEcoResAttributeValue.Value = newEcoResValue.RecId;  
newEcoResAttributeValue.InstanceValue = newEcoResProductInstanceValue.RecId;  
newEcoResAttributeValue.Attribute = ecoResAttribute.RecId;  
newEcoResAttributeValue.insert();  
}

ttscommit;  
}
