In the configuration of the custom field, you can filter the field for a category. Si you can set it for a specific category (and his sub categories if you want) and you can use an hidden category (unpublished) if you want selected all products concerned.

If you what to display specific dates with a little range, the best will be to use a drop down. Knowing more details about what you want to do will be better because for the moment, we can't help you correctly.

Thanks in advance")* Hi, > artinzaman wrote: Which table I should put the custom date field so the customer have to enter when they add a product to shopping cart? You have to create an "item" custom field. The table will be "item". For what I read about your requirements, you should use a custom price plugin. It will give you the possibility to calculate dynamically the price of some products depending the custom fields. You can use "product" custom field to store variable data that the custom won't see (if the custom field is not displayed in the front-end). These field can be used afterward by the plugin in order to calculate/process the final product price ; using the item custom fields (the dates) and some variables (hardcoded in the plugin and read dynamically in a product custom field).
