Product Checkboxlist field returns empty loop

I created a product field named "Features" which is set as Checkboxlist, and it returns a empty loop, when declared alone.

Calling just the loop, count returns 0 

@GetLoop("Features.Options").Count


Calling the loop + the same field as string, count returns results and all the data-set 
@GetLoop("Features.Options").Count
@GetString("Ecom:Product:Field.Features")

Hi Lara,

Hmm... you are right.

The ecom renderer tries to optimize process and it skips fields rendering if no one field property is used (it checks  that template contains "Ecom:Product:Field." string - so 'options' loop is not catched)

Best regards,
Vladimir

Hi Vladimir, thank you for confirming.

So I guess the best way to avoid an empty loop is to declare a var equal to some field property, to ensure the field loop is loaded.

Hi Lara,

Yes, I think it is the best workaround with this issue.

Best regards,
