However, it's not possible on the current version where only the solution above is.

I have an address password custom field, that should only take numbers. I have changed the phone filter validation and added some code to the if(type=='address') element like this: Code: else if(type=='address'){ if(typeof varform.elements['data[address][address_telephone]'] != 'undefined'){ var phoneField = varform.elements['data[address][address_telephone]']; if(phoneField){ phoneField.value = phoneField.value.replace(/ /g,""); if(phoneField.value.length > 0){ var filter = /^[0-9]+$/i; if( !filter.test(phoneField.value)){ alert(hikashop['valid_phone']); return false; } } } } //added code for address password validation else if(typeof varform.elements['data[address][address_password]'] != 'undefined'){ var codeField = varform.elements['data[address][address_password]']; var filter = /^[0-9]+$/i; if( !filter.test(codeField.value)){ alert(hikashop['valid_code']); return false; } } } but this code doesn't work for me. could you please help on that?

Then, you can use joomfish/falang to translate the custom field error message. Finally, in your code, you can use instead: hikashop which will contain the error message of the field address_password.
