Hi,
Thanks for the response.
I tried creating a custom ITEM field as you suggested, but this functions slightly differently to the custom PRODUCT field.
Currently the custom PRODUCT field is set to allow admin to add a retails price in the backend of the product that then displays a price on the front end.
Setting this up using a custom ITEM field adds a text box to the front end of the product that customers can add content to, which is not how I would like this field displayed.
I have included some more images to illustrate the issue.
My apologies if I have misunderstood the setup of the ITEM field.
thanks,
