I suppose that you didn't save yet that product. So in the backend you get the default value selected in the dropdown, but as long as you don't save it once, the value of the custom field is empty in the database and it doesn't show up on the frontend product page.

When i edit the product in the backend, the custom field value that is selected is not the correct one (a.k.a the one i saved first). I noticed that when a custom field has a big set of data in it, it doesn't save and has issues such as this one i'm telling you.

Any thoughts? Thank you in advance")* Hi, The max_input_vars of your php.ini is set to 1000. So your PHP won't take into account the parameters after 1000. Because you have a lot of values in these custom fields, you go over that limit and thus the new values are discarded. You'll have to increase that setting if you want to continue adding more values. You can check the value of that setting under the "PHP information" tab of the System>System information menu of your Joomla backend.

Regarding the problem with the field value not being selected when you come back to the product, that's because you have an inconsitency on your website which should not be possible. In your custom field Diastasi you have a D uppercase. However, HikaShop doesn't allow uppercase when you create a new custom field and in the database you correctly have a d lowercase for the column in the hikashop_product table. So I don't understand how you ended up with a D uppercase in the column name of the custom field. You need to edit the the entry of the custom field in the hikashop_field table via your phpmyadmin and change the field_namekey to lowercase and it will work.
