That information will be stored with the order and you can then customize the code of the emails via the menu Display>Emails to add the value of that field, stored in $data->XXX where XXX is the custom field column name, as BCC of the email.

Ok, in the meantime I've created that field and I wrote a PHP script to populate the custom field with all possible e-mail addresses from an external database. Is there a way to import those values from a CSV file? > nicolas wrote: That information will be stored with the order and you can then customize the code of the emails via the menu Display>Emails to add the value of that field, stored in $data->XXX where XXX is the custom field column name, as BCC of the email. > [ www.hikashop.com/forum/orders-management...ustomers.html#188279](https://www.hikashop.com/forum/orders-management/874525-how-to-cc-or-bcc-hikashop-emails-to-customers.html#188279) > [ www.hikashop.com/support/forum/4-how-to/...firmation-email.html](https://www.hikashop.com/support/forum/4-how-to/872622-add-custom-bcc-on-admin-confirmation-email.html) Ok, thanks for these precious tipps! cpix Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzM1LW9yZGVycy1tYW5hZ2VtZW50Lzg4OTQzNi1ob3ctdG8tc2VuZC1hLWNvcHktb2YtYW4tb3JkZXItdG8tYS1tYWlsLWFkZHJlc3MtY2hvc2VuLWJ5LXRoZS1jdXN0b21lcj90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[cpix](/forum/user/47338-cpix "View cpix's Profile")** - [![cpix's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/47338-cpix "View cpix's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/47338-cpix) Less More - Posts: 13 - Thank you received: 1 - - 9 years 7 months ago [\#265533](#265533) by [cpix](/forum/user/47338-cpix "View cpix's Profile") Replied by *[cpix](/forum/user/47338-cpix "View cpix's Profile")* on topic *[How to send a copy of an order to a mail address chosen by the customer?](/forum/35-orders-management/889436-how-to-send-a-copy-of-an-order-to-a-mail-address-chosen-by-the-customer#265533 "-- HikaShop version -- : 3.0.1 -- Joomla version -- : 3.6.5 -- PHP version -- : 5.4.45 Hi, I need to implement a way to have a copy of an order be sent to a specific address the customer chooses from a list during check-out. Any suggestion is welcome! Regards, cpix")* Hi Nicolas, I have the next question, which is related to this problem. The custom field used for the mail address is shown as a simple dropdown menu. I have to ensure that the customer really chooses an address, so I've put a dummy entry at the first list position. How can I check that this entry is **not** chosen?

Any suggestion is welcome! Regards, cpix")* Hi, There is no import system in HikaShop for custom field values. You could potentially export/import the data from the hikashop_field table via your PHPMyAdmin. If the default option of the select has a value with an empty string (the text of the option can be whatever you want), and if you turn on the "required" setting of the custom field, the system won't validate the form where the custom field is unless the customer selects another option in the select.

Ok, good point. In this case I solved the problem by directly updating the hikashop_field table. > If the default option of the select has a value with an empty string (the text of the option can be whatever you want), and if you turn on the "required" setting of the custom field, the system won't validate the form where the custom field is unless the customer selects another option in the select. That solved my problem! Thank you very much!
