Custom Fields Dependent on Category

  • Hi, my client would like to be able to create products where custom fields only appear if an item belongs to a category, with multiple levels.

    Product can be in either Category A or B, not both.

    If category A, then must pick a selection from dropdown Delta. Drop Delta has 5 options. Then must pick from dropdown beta.

    If category B, then must pick from dropdown beta. Dropdown delta never appears when creating a product in category B.

    Depending on the selection from dropdown beta, a similar branching path would arise. Option 1 from dropdown beta would open up dropdown theta. Option 2 from dropdown beta would open up dropdown zeta.

    In the end there will be about 5 dropdowns that are modified based on the previous selection. Is this something that is possible with your product?

  • Hello brettins,

    Unfortunately, there is no option to do this in the plugin. However, what you could try is using hints to mention that only select this custom field if you selected Category A. This will make sure the user only selects that field and leaves the other custom fields empty. Then you can select the Option to Hide blank/Empty Fields to “Yes”. This will make sure that once a category is selected it will only show the Custom Field in the sidebar that has a value in the products. It will basically show you the appropriate custom field everywhere. Just make sure the Custom Fields that are not required for a product are left blank.

    Best regards,
