Hello @SiraDIOP,

No, it’s not normal. There could be 2 issues:

1. You didn’t apply the PR correctly.
2. You didn’t recompile the templates.

Case 1

Check that the new instructions found here are present in the file themes/hummingbird/templates/_partials/form-fields.tpl: https://github.com/PrestaShop/hummingbird/pull/698/files

Case 2 In Admin > Advanced Parameters > Performance, make sure that Template compilation is not set to Never recompile template files. If it is, you need to clear the cache (use the Clear cache button on the same page).

Hello @SiraDIOP, I'm not very experienced with Linux shell, but I believe there might be an issue with this line:

git prc origin 698 dev

However, to make sure the PR was properly imported, you just need to verify that in the file themes/hummingbird/templates/_partials/form-fields.tpl you can find the instruction:

{elseif $field.type === 'textarea'}

at line 158.

Hello @Codencode,

Thanks for the PR, I hadn't installed the PR correctly, but it's fine now.

Everything is ok for me :)

Thanks
