\"\"<\/p>\n

However, if you want to add a field to it, you can navigate to <\/span>“Product Settings”<\/b> dropdown under <\/span>“Inventory”<\/b> in the main menu. Then click on the <\/span>“Custom Fields”<\/b> card. <\/span><\/p>\n

All you need to do is click on the field you want to attach to the product data and drop it at the phrase <\/span>“Drop Here”<\/b>, then adjust the field settings, and press <\/span>“Save”<\/b> to have it appear from then on when adding a new product.<\/span><\/p>\n
