Using a custom field in a variant product

HI

I have the following setup

1 main product, 1 option and 2 variants.

I have created a custom field (called maximum_place) and assigned it to the Main Product. I would like to display this custom field in the variant drop down combo.

I can't seem to figure out how to reference this field in the view product and file option.php.

I have tried

$optionElement->maximum_place and $optionElement->main->maximum_place but i get nothing...

Have i called it correctly.

Thanks

Patrick

HI Nicolas

I have used the following in the option.php file below line 86

$this->row->prices = array($variant->prices[$k]);
$optionElement = reset($this->element->options);
$text = $variant->start_date.$text;
$text.=" Remaining Spots " . $variant->product_quantity. " of " . $optionElement->main->maximum_place . ' '.($positive?'+':'').strip_tags($this->loadTemplate());


However, I still don't get the value which has been set in the custom field in the Main product.

Am I still doing something incorrect.

Thanks

Patrick

HI Nicolas

Thank you for the information

The custom field was on the main product so $this->element->maximum_place worked.
