Product size selection

-- HikaShop version -- : 4.4.2
-- Joomla version -- : 3.9.25
-- PHP version -- : 7.4.14

Hello
we are importing products from csv files.

Each product has 2 or 3 or 4 sizes that does not affect the price.

The sizes of each product are in the csv size column like this: M,L,XL,XXL (comma separated values).

As i said the size does not affect the price or anything else.

Is there a way to have these values show as a dropdown selection list that will be dynamically created from the csv, avoiding the creation of characteristics, variants, etc? There is no reason of creating variants because everything is the same (info, images, etc) and the price is not affected.

If yes... can the selected value show on the cart and order mail, so that we know what size the client ordered?

No other characteristics (color, material, etc), just the size.

Thank you

Hello,

Of course, the solution will be to create a custom field via "Hikashop->Display->Custom fields" and set the :
- "Field type" option to "Single dropdown"
- "Table" option to "Item"

Kind regards,
Mohamed.

Thank you for you reply Mohamed.

We did create the custom field as you suggested. I left the values blank we want them to be "dynamically created from the csv" as we mentioned on our first post.

Where are the values from the csv stored so that each product has a dropdown with it's corresponding sizes?

- one custom field of the table "item" and the type "single dropdown" without any values.

Created

- one custom field of the table "product" and the type "multiple dropdown" or "checkbox" with all the possible values entered in it.

Created

When the second custom field gets values from the csv, everything works as it should. The entered values show with the first field as selectable options.

But...

if the xml does not enter values in the second field, because a particular product does not have size for example, then the second field with all the possible values entered appears. This is not correct because some products or products from other vendors may not need to have size.

We need if the second field does not get values from csv, both fields to be hidden.

How can we do this?

Thank you.

Thank you!!!
This did the trick.

We are done with it 99%. The remaining problem has to do with the button that shows in the products list. All the product buttons in the products list became "Choose options" even if there are no options for this product.

The above product has no variants or anything else that requires the client's choice. The button should be "Add to cart" so that products without variants or any other requirements for user choice, to be added to the cart directly.

Is there a way?
