I am following the "Add a New Property to a Product" instructions and am having a little trouble adding multiple properties in X-Cart 5.4. Adding a single property works fine, but adding multiple properties is making the product description, name, images, and category disappear from the back and front end while displaying all the new properties.

My code for decorating viewer class:

<?php
// vim: set ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 et:

namespace XLite\Module\*******\*******\View\FormModel\Product;

/**
 * Product form model
 */
abstract class Info extends \XLite\View\FormModel\Product\Info implements \XLite\Base\IDecorator
{
    protected function defineFields() 
    {
        $schema = parent::defineFields();

        $schema = ['default' => [
		'myBrand' => [
            'label'     => static::t('Brand'),
            'position'  => 900,
        ],
		
		'myCountryOrigin' => [
            'label'     => static::t('Country of Origin'),
            'position'  => 910,
        ],
		
		'myCountryAssembly' => [
            'label'     => static::t('Assembly Location'),
            'position'  => 920,
        ],
		
		'myItemCondition' => [
            'label'     => static::t('Item Condition'),
            'position'  => 930,
        ],
		
		'myMaterial' => [
            'label'     => static::t('Made of'),
            'position'  => 940,
        ],
	],
	];
        return $schema;
    }

}

Instructions code for decorating viewer class:

<?php
// vim: set ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 et:
 
namespace XLite\Module\XCExample\ProductPropertyDemo\View\FormModel\Product;
 
/**
 * Product form model
 */
abstract class Info extends \XLite\View\FormModel\Product\Info implements \XLite\Base\IDecorator
{
    protected function defineFields()
    {
        $schema = parent::defineFields();
 
        $schema['default']['myMessage'] = [
            'label'     => static::t('My message'),
            'position'  => 900,
        ];
 
        return $schema;
    }
 
}

Any help will be most appreciated.

 $schema = parent::defineFields();


$schema = ['default' => [......
 

You are overriding $schema with your custom line. You should be adding to it your new fields whether you want them to show

Thank you. Could you elaborate on how to do that?

Would I just add each separately like this:

$schema = parent::defineFields();

        $schema['default']['myBrand'] = [
            'label'     => static::t('Brand'),
            'position'  => 900,
        ];
        $schema['default']['myCountryOrigin'] = [
            'label'     => static::t('Country of Origin'),
            'position'  => 910,
        ];

etc.

You can do that, you can use array_merge as well

Thank you. I appreciate the assistance.
