Custom field with list
Custom fields with the attribute “is list” are displayed as list, use comma seperated values in the “Default value” field. If “cart input” is selected, then it creates directly a selectable list as variant.
If the list type “As Adminlist” is selected, the list is available as dropdown in the product edit and displays the selected value in the frontend.
It is possible to use custom fields with “As Adminlist” and “cart input” to create new selectable list, and any option is selectable by a dropdown.
