Field type varchar(255) - I use this to input the supplier website, usually with a link similar to this <a href="[ www.enta.net.au](http://www.enta.net.au)" target="_blank">[ www.enta.net.au](http://www.enta.net.au)</a> This works perfectly. However, whenever I go back in to the product to change any details, category, price etc this field is wiped out and replaced with just "<a href" It means that every time I need to make a change to products, which is quite often - I have to re-enter the link.

However, whenever I go back in to the product to change any details, category, price etc this field is wiped out and replaced with just "")* The custom fields weren't supposed to handle HTML in the first place which is why it's not working properly. You need to change the line: $html = $class->display($field,$value,$map,$inside,$options,$test); by: $html = $class->display($field,htmlspecialchars($value, ENT_COMPAT,'UTF-8'),$map,$inside,$options,$test); in the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/field.php We'll add that as I'm sure it will help others as well.
