required custom fields

Hi,

The best is to let the default value for the one which have an empty "value".
So the customer will have to select one value in the dropdown if the default is not the empty, it will provide a valid value.

Hi,

In the values, add a new one with a title but with an empty "value".
Remove the "required" option of the custom field and save it.

Then, you can select the default value for the custom field and select one value which is empty.
You can reactivate the "required" option as well, and re-save the custom field.

Hi,

Please note that we already made some improvements in HikaShop to allow you to save an empty default value in the backend, even if the custom field is required.
I made the patch last month and it will be in the next release.

There is no copy function.
The issue with such function is that when you create a new custom field, the column name is used to create the column in the database (and that's why you can't change it later on), but a copy function would take a field and generate a new one out of it without asking you anything (like the other copy buttons in HikaShop) and thus you would get a random column name for your field copy and you wouldn't be able to change it.
That's mainly why we didn't add that but also not a lot of people require to generate so many fields that are almost identical.

Hi,

For what I know, it is possible to have require options in HikaShop.
By grouping the options with their parent product, once the product is added into the cart the customer can't delete the linked option from the cart.

When the product option is a classical option you will have a "yes/no", but if you add an option which have variants, you will just be able to select the variant and you couldn't not add the option.

That capability is only possible with the custom fields.
Adding it to options would be possible with several changes in the code.
The issue with options is that, unlike custom fields, they don't have any settings.
So it would mean global options to make them all required or not, all with a choose option or not, which is not ideal as most of the time to don't want that to be global.
That's why we usually recommend to set the values you want in the dropdown option with a characteristic so that a default value is already selected in the options and the customer cannot choose nothing for the option.
