# Field assignment & priorities

For a field to appear in the frontend, it must be assigned to one or more products, categories or dynamic product groups. You make the assignment directly in the detail view of the field.

## The three assignment levels

| Level                              | Effect                                                                                |
| ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Show at products**               | The field appears only for the selected products.                                     |
| **Show at categories**             | The field appears for all products of the selected category/categories.               |
| **Show in dynamic product groups** | The field appears for all products that belong to the selected dynamic product group. |

You can also use the same function the other way around: in the product itself (**General** tab) as well as in the category and dynamic product group management you can assign the related fields.

## Priorities

If a product receives fields via several levels, a clear ranking applies:

1. **Product (highest priority)** – An assignment directly on the product overrides the assignment via category **and** via dynamic product group.
2. **Category (second highest priority)** – Overrides the assignment via dynamic product group.
3. **Dynamic product group (lowest priority)** – Applies when neither a product nor a category assignment takes effect.

> **Example:** If a field is assigned directly to a product, the fields defined via category or dynamic product group are **not** additionally shown for that product. The product assignment "wins".

## Including child/parent categories

For assignment via **categories** you can control in the [plugin configuration](/artikel-konfigurator/english-documentation/plugin-konfiguration.md) whether related categories are also taken into account:

* **Include child categories** – The subordinate categories of the selected category are also taken into account.
* **Include parent category** – The superordinate categories of the selected category are also taken into account.

Both options only apply when the field assignment is done **per category**.

> **Tip:** Use the category or dynamic product group assignment for fields that should apply to many articles (e.g. "wish text" for all gift articles). Use the product assignment specifically to equip individual articles with different fields.
