Hi,

Please read the wiki:
http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/wiki/Product_custom_fields_without_stock_control

Custom fields with no Cart Attribute are the same as product types in VM1.

Hi,

I read the wiki.
I followed the steps.
If I add the custom field to the product I see all the possible values (12 different colors) in a drop-down list. After I save the changes of the product I see only one.
When I created custom field I listed the default values separated with ; .
I also tried grouping but in this case I got 12 different drop-down list on the front-end.
How can I create a drop-down list which contains many values (colors) and display it on the product details page on the front-end and let the shoppers to chooes which color do they need?

Thanks
