Hi Thomas

Dynamicweb checks if the template has a specific loop before it renders content to that loo. When you do like this: GetLoop(loopname + ".Options") you create the loopname dynamically, so the name of the loop is not in the template and there DW does not render it. When you add TemplateTags() it will render everything to display in the table. So that is why.

Consider using the CustomFields loop instead: http://templates.dynamicweb.com/eCommerce/Dynamicweb-eCommerce-template-tags/Product-Catalog/Product-detail/Loops/CustomFields.aspx

Thanks Nicolai.

I can't use CustomFields loop instead because the fields are lists. The name and values of the lists are different and DW only output values where I should output names.

Also I would prefer not to hardcode all fields where I just need to output all fields.

I'll just have to go through all loops manually then.

For anybody interested, I found a workaround:

If I include a helper in razor the fields get outputted:

                        @helper customFields(string loop) {
                            if (Loops.Contains(loop + ".Options")) {
                                foreach (var CustomField in GetLoop(loop + ".Options")) {
                                    if (CustomField.GetBoolean(loop + ".Option.IsSelected")) {
                                        @CustomField.GetString(loop + ".Option.Name")<text>, </text>
                                    }
                                }
                            }
}

                                @foreach (var CustomFieldElement in GetLoop("CustomFieldList")) {
                                string loopname = CustomFieldElement.GetString("Ecom:CustomField.System");
                                    <tr>
                                        <td>@GetString("Ecom:Product:Field."+loopname+".Name"):</td>
                                        <td>@customFields(loopname)</td>
                                    </tr>
                                }
