Hello -I'm trying to setup a filter on a few custom fields for products I created. But when I go in to create the filter, the custom fields don't show up. What's the deal?

Hi,

That's because the custom field is limited to a category. Remove that limitation in your custom field and you should be able to select it in your filter.

But the custom fields only apply to products in that catagory --- same as the filter, the filter should only apply to that category.

Hi,

Remove the category from the custom field, edit the filter, select the custom field and make sure that the filter works. Then, add the category again to the field and that should be good.

Ok -- I will do that. Question for you -- what is the use of the category custom fields? - i'm trying to determine the best way to implement. Whether I should use characteristics, product custom fields, or category custom fields.

When you have a products listing which lists all your products, regardless of the category, you can have such category filter to filter out only the products of one category.
