However it appears that you have also put a piece of code to display custom fields, so my custom field is called in a location where i didn't place any code.

On the category view it reads the custom field as expected (next to the price), however on product page itself the custom field is not shown. If i enable front end for the field i see it in the right place in category AND product page (next to the price) but also in product page i have it shown under a H4 heading 'Specifications'.
