Hi

You have to assign the custom field multiple times to the product.

If you are looking for a more user friendly solution you can use the Custom Fileds For All

May these custom fields are for cart variant, but if we want to use custom fields for product filters where we need to apply multiple values to a custom field. There how can we do that.

In VM1.x version we had product types where we can assign multiple values to a product type, in the same way is there any flexibility in VM 2.0.x or VM 2.x.

Thank you,

Hi

I never understood the compexity of ptoduct types. You now have custom fields which are much easier to handle.
By adding the same custom field multiple times to the product you can assign to it as many values as you like.

The filtering is another process and is connected with the filtering extension you intent to use.
