 * And another request, I tried to email you trough your official website’s contact
   form but unfortunately it’s been several days and still no response so I’m not
   certain if the request ended in the spam box somehow.
 * So here it is, I’d like to suggest adding support for custom fields to the table.
   
   I know it’s a woocommerce data table, but woocommerce is pretty limited to adding
   addition data to the products. So I’m sure I’m not the first or last person to
   be needing Advanced Custom Fields plugin to add additional information through
   custom fields to for example my products archive loop.
 * Now I’d like to use the information I provided in my custom fields also in my
   datatables.
 * An example of this is:
    I have a product (Monster), in this monster I have 3 
   custom fields called Slot_1, Slot_2 and Slot_3, these are the monsters skills.
   I’m trying to create a datatable with these custom fields as columns. So the 
   information I’ve provided in the custom fields will be entered on a per product
   base can be found in my table as Skill1, Skill2 and Skill3.
 * Could you help me out with this please? And perhaps you’d consider adding custom
   fields to the regular supported fields of the plugin’s range.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcustom-fields-support-6%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello, [@chibichiii](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chibichiii/) !
    According
   to your request, I have a solution that can help. We didn’t add custom fields
   as a column, but we added multiple attributes. You can display every attribute
   as a column separately. So, what if you set every monster skill as a different
   attribute in WooCommerce and add them all to the table? Like in our example with
   Attribute Color/size/colour etc. [https://woobewoo.com/documentation/product-attribute-and-category-filters/](https://woobewoo.com/documentation/product-attribute-and-category-filters/)
   Also, you can rename the column and put Skill1, Skill2 and Skill3. Let me know
   if it helps.

 * Hi Nick!
 * Thanks for taking the time, unfortunately that’s a bit too large scale. You see
   I’m making a catalog for a game which has 2500 monsters, each monster having 
   unique non repeating skills about 3 / 4 per monster. That would mean having to
   put in over 10.000 attributes for this solution to work.
 * Also the second problem I’d be having is that I need to show images for the skills
   as in the game they are shown as icons. And the attributes will not let me use
   an icon, only tekst. So unforunately this solution would not work for me.
 * The reason I mentioned custom fields is because it simply gives the freedom to
   add extra fields to the woocommerce installation with plugins like ACF, Pods 
   or Toolset and we could use a lot more content like WYSIWYG editor to place 4
   images including a tooltip in 1 field.
 * I’m currently no longer working with Woocommerce btw, I moved to a new solution
   for my tables with WPdataTables and I’m using Toolset to set up the website with
   custom posts.
 * I am very grateful that you took the time to look into my request but I think
   Woocommerce was simply too limited for my project 🙂
