String custom filed does not work as expected, no dropdown list in frontend.

[michelerighetti]

Hello to all. I have this problem, when I set up a custom field string, I can see the dropdown list in backend, but in frontend appears only the value selected in backend.
to make a custom filed string that works correctly I have to duplicate a previous string custom filed that works previously and so the new one works too.
Furthermore the qith this copied custom filed the translation not works properly: in fact it only translates the first value, the other values remain with the constant.
Shomeone can help me?

You have to set the caustom field as input for cart otherwise You have prechoosen the value in Your backen for the customer to see.

Thankyou Jörgen for your quick reply. Now it works.
What do you think about the language that only translates the first value ?

[Jörgen]

I have not tried this myself. But make the translation
MY_COLORS = "Red;Green;Blue";

I guess this will work.

You mean "MY_COLORS" is the first dropdown value and "Red; Green; Blue" are all translated values including the first?
I have tried this and it doesn't work.

Remove the linefeed.

KEY_1;KEY_2;KEY_3;

Then it should work

Thankyou Jörgen, I did as you say, I removed the keys in the language overrides file, but it doesn't work. Maybe I didn't understand what to do. so I describe how I set the string field:
I have a sring with KEY_1;KEY_2;KEY_3; (3 selection options in frontend), I have set a overrides language file with
KEY_1="option 1"
KEY_2="option 2"
KEY_3="option 3"
In frontend only the first value is taken
This don't works.

Have you removed the LINEFEEDS in Your first setup??
It should look like:

VALORE_1;VALORE_2;VALORE_3;

This works since years, I have tested it on VM version 3.2.12.

Hi Jörgen thanks for your help and patience
I have removed the keys from the default values in the setup, and so the sringa field does not give me options if I apply it to a product.
Maybe I don't understand what and where I have to remove the keys, and where I have to write the translations.

I think Joerg means use
VALORE_1;VALORE_2;VALORE_3;

in the valore predefinito with NO line breaks

[Jörgen]

Yes, thank you John

Jörgen

[michelerighetti]
