The field accepts any text input without showing the error message. Since you upgraded from 6.1.0 to 6.4.0, could you check if you have a view override for the product page? In 6.4.0, the product page form structure was changed, and old view overrides can cause issues with field validation. Please check if you have any of these files in your Joomla template folder: - `templates/{your_template}/html/com_hikashop/product/show.php` - `templates/{your_template}/html/com_hikashop/product/show_default.php` - `templates/{your_template}/html/com_hikashop/product/show_block_custom_item.php` If any of these exist, try renaming the folder `templates/{your_template}/html/com_hikashop/product/` to `product_backup/` temporarily and test again. If the validation then works correctly, you'll need to update your view overrides to be compatible with the 6.4.0 form structure. You can compare your overrides with the original files using the Display > Views page in HikaShop's backend. The issue with the variants is most likely the same origin. You sure can downgrade if you want by installing the 6.1.0 package. Regarding the backend changes, what do you no like ? It's not like we've changed everything between the 6.1.0 and the 6.4.0 in the backend, so I'm surprised. Could you maybe point at the issues you have with the backend before downgrading ?

With variants, I needed to define a price for each. With 6.1.0, it would use the product price for any that didn't have a variant price. 6.4.0 Backend Issues: + The filtering options on the Orders page are stacked. They used to be in line, taking up less vertical space. See screenshot. + Can the page layout features be disabled, like when editing a product? Even when I deactivate form customization, I still see some of those layout controls. I find that all to be visual clutter for normal use. + On the products page, the Description section flashes on and off. However, I was noticing that with 6.1.0. If I toggle to the editor, it goes right back to the normal view. On a different note, on the Orders page, can it remember the "Display #" selection? I often find that I need to see more than 20 orders, but as soon as I log back in, it is back to 20. - [ ![screenshot1.png](/forum/attachment/61302) ](/forum/attachment/61302 "screenshot1.png") [ ](/forum/attachment/61302?download=1 "screenshot1.png") Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtL2luc3RhbGwtdXBkYXRlLzkxMDIwMC1jdXN0b20tZmllbGQtdmFsaWRhdGlvbi1pc3N1ZT90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) 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)](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") - [ Away](/forum/user/63-nicolas) Less More - Posts: 86291 - Thank you received: 14269 - - 7 months 5 days ago [\#370924](#370924) by [nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile") Replied by *[nicolas](/forum/user/63-nicolas "View nicolas's Profile")* on topic *[Custom Field Validation Issue](/forum/25-install-update/910200-custom-field-validation-issue#370924 "-- HikaShop version -- : 6.4.0 -- Joomla version -- : 5.4.3 -- PHP version -- : 8.2.30 -- Browser(s) name and version -- : Firefox 148.0.2 I just updated our site to Business 6.4.0 from 6.1.0.

What you describe indicates that you're using an old version of that CSS, not the default one and thus you're missing the new CSS we've added for the filters, and the form customization. Regarding the flashing description, I'm not sure what you mean as I don't think I've seen this problem. I would need more details on the problem. Regarding the default number of elements, it depends on the main setting of the Joomla configuration. So I would recommend increasing it there.

It affects all TinyMCE editors in Firefox, including when editing Joomla articles. The bug is in Joomla's TinyMCE integration code (`media/plg_editors_tinymce/js/tinymce.js`). An iframe `load` event listener that reinitializes TinyMCE creates an infinite loop in Firefox where each reinitialization triggers a new `load` event. This was fixed in Joomla 5.4.4 via this pull request: [ github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/pull/46889](https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/pull/46889) Since you are on Joomla 5.4.3, you have two options: 1. Update Joomla to 5.4.4 or later. 2. Apply the community hotfix available here: [ github.com/brianteeman/tinymce-firefoxfix/releases](https://github.com/brianteeman/tinymce-firefoxfix/releases) . These are drop-in replacement files for `media/plg_editors_tinymce/js/tinymce.js` and `tinymce.min.js`.
