If you want to have a custom product field called author, you should first delete this one and create a new one for the table product. Then, in the product options, you will be able to set the author and use the code I provided to display it on the listing.

So to clarify - if we wanted a separate author field in the product listing and a 20% calculation (using [ www.bookdepository.co.uk/category/2455/Childrens-Books](http://www.bookdepository.co.uk/category/2455/Childrens-Books) as an example), it is achievable but we would have to pay for the Business version of HikaShop.
