Thanks, Sean")* On the right of the custom fields edition page there is indeed a categories listing where you can select only the categories where you want to display the custom field. You can do it "per product" by default, but simply create an unpublished category for your custom field and add it as a second category to the products where you want the custom field and the custom field will only appear for these products.

Hi Nicolas, so if I trash (delete) some of the category listings in the custom fields edition page , I wouldn't actually be deleting my actual categories else where, is that correct?
