if your new field is not pulled with the standard fn_get_product() then you will need to use a 'addons/my_changes/controllers/admin/products.post.php' controller.

You would extract the current product data via:


if( $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] != 'POST' ) {
$product_data = Registry::get('view')->get_var('product_data');
// $product_data['new_field'] = db_get_field("SELECT new_field FROM ?:products WHERE product_id=?i", $_REQUEST['product_id']);
// Then write it back to it's visible to the template
Registry::get('view')->assign('product_data', $product_data);
}
retrun array(CONTROLLER_STATUS_OK);
