Only way i know to make it, is to create a new product, save it, find it in frontend, copy/paste url to "Canonical URL" field of product.

It's related to the "Simplified breadcrumbs" option. See: [ www.hikashop.com/support/support/documen...ig.html#features\_sef](http://www.hikashop.com/support/support/documentation/54-hikashop-config.html#features_sef) 2.If you want to edit the canonical url for several products in the same time, the easier will be to use a mass action. Thanks to that, you can display some specific fields (product id, product name, product code, product canonical) and display them in a "editable table" (and use a little pagination filter in order to limit the number of lines). You will have a table where you will be able to edit every fields by clicking on them (like in "php my admin").
