Custom field - required but if added to cart, isnt

Hi

We have a custom field added to a sub-category called Tags. The custom field is called "IAR Numbers" - you can see the product layout here aaa.wirthconsulting.com.au/merchandise-s.../14-replacement-tags

We have set this custom field as "required".

However on the product category page aaa.wirthconsulting.com.au/merchandise-services/online-shop the user can add the item to their cart directly. This effectively skips the "required" field and they can checkout without providing the information we need for that product.

I checked out other forum postings about adding a custom field to orders but it doesn't apply on a per product basis (this custom field should only appear for 1 product).

Any suggestions on how to get around this?

thanks,
Bianca

Hi,

I don't see any difference between the two pages.
Could you give us a test account ?

Sorry - the fields/add to cart don't appear unless the user has a specific level of access.

Here are the screenshots:

You should turn on the option "Display custom item fields" in the hikashop options of your products listing and you will also get the custom item field on your listing.

Brilliant! Thanks Nicolas
