Title: Multi-variant with custom label - Improvement
Post by: balai on October 05, 2016, 13:35:41 PM
The potential use of custom fields into a derivative product can be a great addition in order to use them for search and filtering.

But with a bit research i found out that the same custom field is used to store information for any field.
For example size, color, and type use the same field with the same custom field id.

That makes it useless for filtering if more than 1 custom field/label is used.
To be able to use these as filters they should use a different custom field in order to be able to be cross-checked.

There is already, please check the customfield prototype, there you can select a "String Customfield", which should be customfield prototype of type S, which are then automatically created for the children
