You will have to edit the view file where your custom field is displayed and add custom javascript code to handle that. What kind of custom field is it ? On which table is it set ?

This attempt had no result either, which I am a bit lost with. :ohmy: I have cleared cache/browser history/etc, the site is online and no one is logged into to either front/back end. This seems a bit strange. I don't think its fair to say that the latest line isn't correct, but it doesn't appear to be being taken into effect. kindly, Luke Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzktY29tbWVyY2lhbC1qb2JzLzUyMTg0LXZhbGlkYXRpb24/dG1wbD1tYXJrZG93bg==) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")** - [![nicolas's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar63.png?1793428657)](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") - [ Offline](/forum/user/63-nicolas) Less More - Posts: 86541 - Thank you received: 14304 - - 14 years 5 months ago [\#52681](#52681) by [nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") Replied by *[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")* on topic *[Re: validation](/forum/9-commercial-jobs/52184-validation#52681 "Hi Nicolas, I made a post under general regarding validation for a custom field - customer code.
