Title: custom field problem in RC3
Post by: hans654 on December 15, 2011, 15:01:22 PM
Hi,
I can't use the custom fields at all, because the fields in the records are displayed wrong.
(tested with safari 506 / osx 1058 and Chrome 16.0.912.63.
Cheers.

Update:
It's only true, when I check "is a list" on the custom field screen.
Cheers.

But what is the "is list" option good for? It results always in a popup with one entry...

no, tell me thats not true!

that's what we call: from behind through back into the eye.
First create the custom field, but don't activate the list feature
then go to the product end enter some values with;
and then go back to custom field and activate the list feature.

you will have a lot of fun writing the manual....

and on the frontend this results in radio-buttons. hmm.

Ye, because we add many choice some is confusing but we do a better in the next releases but this are not real bug's but GUI only.

To do a list you must use x;v;y For eg to have a dropdown list in edit product and adding a customfield "is_list"
This permit to fast add field having same entries.

But as i said, we do it better with time to feet most of case and sure it's not so simple and sometime a little confusing :)
