Which shopware version did you use?

With 5.2 there is a whole new backend-menu for those fields: [http://en.community.shopware.com/\_detail\_1924.html](http://en.community.shopware.com/_detail_1924.html)

Hello,

the new fields are not displayed automatically in the frontend (because you can use the fields in different places), you have to expand the corresponding template in their own theme:&nbsp;[Getting started with Shopware templating](https://developers.shopware.com/designers-guide/getting-started/#template-inheritance) & [Freitextfeld wird nicht im Frontend angezeigt - #7 von useg - Allgemein - Shopware Community Forum](https://forum.shopware.com/discussion/comment/156625/#Comment%5C_156625) (useg).

Friendly regards

Sebastian

Hi,&nbsp;

Thanks for your help. I got the idea now, but as, i am creating a free text field in items. To add the new template file in which folder i need to add it, I am using PHP strom for this purpose.&nbsp;

Thanks
