Problem with custom field for products Prestashop 1.7.2

[shekhar.patil]

Having some issue while saving the value of the custom field added in products edit page (Backoffice).

I have done things in following order:

1.  Added the custom field (Boolean) in Products table (database).

2. Override the product class and added the definition for the custom field.

3. Added the custom field in the ProductInformation.tpl

4. Added the field in the form.html.twig.

Problem: I'm able to see the checkbox on the products edit page from Backoffice. Also, it is not checked as the default value for the field is FALSE.

But unable to update the value of the field on Save button. 

Other things like product name or price are updating properly but the custom field value remains the same.

Please help!!!

As per the points that you have mentioned, it seems that you have missed the logic to save the value of the custom field in the DB, you are supposed to add the logic to Admin Product controller (/controllers/admin/AdminProductsController.php) for the same.

P. S. Just an advice, you should not be editing the table structure of the core Product table to add a custom field to the product form, you can simply create another custom table to save the data and then use hooks to add the field and save its values.
