Thank you for your assistance.")* Hi, There is no mechanism in HikaShop to have custom item fields display based on the selected variant. So it will require some modification. The easiest is to edit the file "show" of the view "product" via the menu Display>Views and add some custom javascript code to the page to hide/display the custom fields using the hkAfterUpdateVariant javascript trigger. You can register it like this: window.Oby.registerAjax("hkAfterUpdateVariant", "my_custom_function"); where my_custom_function is the name of your custom function where you will check the value selected in the characteristic dropdown and then display/hide the fields based on that.

Correct!

Thank you for your assistance.")* Hi, If you need to insert some javascript ; there is not really a very specific place to add it. But the bottom of the view is generally more appropriate so you're sure that your code won't break the HTML or be included into a loop.
