If I let it empty, the field control is done, and I get an error message. Only the RegExp does not work.

Could you do a screenshot of the settings of your custom field and provide a link to the page where it is displayed ?

Thanks in advance for your help plastic1st")* Hi, The problem is that the regex on the custom address fields are not handled properly for the address edition when using the another address selector than the popup one, which is the case on your website. Add the code: Code: function check(&$field,&$value,$oldvalue){ $status = parent::check($field,$value,$oldvalue); if($status && $field->field_required && !empty($field->field_options['regex'])){ if(!preg_match('/'.str_replace('/','\/',$field->field_options['regex']).'/',$value)){ $status = false; if(!empty($this->report)) { if(!empty($field->field_options['errormessage'])){ $message = $this->trans($field->field_options['errormessage']); }else{ $message = JText::sprintf('PLEASE_FILL_THE_FIELD', $this->trans($field->field_realname)); } if($this->report === true) { $app = JFactory::getApplication(); $app->enqueueMessage($message, 'error'); } else { $this->parent->messages[] = array( $message, 'error' ); } } } } return $status; } after the code: Code: class hikashopText extends hikashopItem { var $type = 'text'; var $class = 'inputbox'; in the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/field.php and that should fix the problem.
