Identifier	#2385
Issue type	Feature request or suggestion
Title	Custom Fields for downloads issue
Status	Completed
Handling member	Chris Graham
Addon	downloads
Description	Not sure how to attach 2 screenshots to the initial report, but the block which displays on the start page of site/ isn't outputting all the fields. In this scenario is it ignoring the bitrate info. I think it's strange to display the custom fields I've set for Downloads in the block on the start page as it doesn't have a title or anything to make you understand what it is, and it doesn't reference the downloads to which these fields are attached.
Steps to reproduce
Funded?	No

Pretty sure it's not actually a bug. If you're showing recent catalogue entries, then the custom fields are implemented as catalogue entries. One of the fields probably isn't showing as it likely is not set to display in category listings, which would be the case for main_multi_content output.

However, I will make it so custom field catalogue entries get filtered out from this block.

Yes, that's the result I was hoping for. If they aren't attached to an actual download they aren't particularly useful on their own (and incomplete, if not all data is being shown). I understand that I can edit the block, but I am normally reporting issues with the defaults. Thanks again.
