You will be able to create filters on listing of products in order to filter products displayed based on the values of the custom fields. What you want to use is custom order fields which are only in the business edition and which will appear during the checkout process.

Please clarify... I am attempting to add custom fields to products for a customer to type information in during the checkout process. Perhaps I am missing something?")* You can already create custom fields of the table product or item based on whether you want to have the possibility to enter information on the back end and display it to the user on the product page, or you want to have your users enter information on the product page and have it attached to the product in the cart/order. That's already possible. What is not yet possible is to have filters on products listings on the front end based on the first type of custom fields.

Please clarify... I am attempting to add custom fields to products for a customer to type information in during the checkout process. Perhaps I am missing something?")* That's great - sorry I didn't realize that. You couldn't just explain how could you? I have added a characteristic, which I should think is where I should be, but I cannot stop it showing as a drop down choice on the front end page. What I want is to be able to add a product, in this case a caravan, and add how many beds it has. I would like to add this in a separate custom field in the 'Add Product' page so that it will display on the front page, but it shouldn't be a drop down menu or a choice to the visitor. Thanks very much for your help, I am nearly done with my questions - promise.

So I have less items that your capture screen of "Field page " . Is there a way to add new table ?

It's indeed possible to add more tables with plugin triggers but there is no documentation for that yet. A good example is HikaMarket multivendor which adds a new "vendor" table there via its hikashop integration plugin so that you can create custom fields specific to vendors.
