  I think you are missing a getter and setter for the new field. See here for docs on it.

  
  https://payloadcms.com/docs/admin/preferences
  
  

  Spesificly this line:

  
  

  const { getPreference, setPreference } = usePreferences();

  
  
  

  where the getter and setter are defined. i havent done an implamantaion with this but it should be fairly straight forward if you look at the example.

  You can see from the source code that the onChange is a bit differrent when you have multiple options, check this out:

  On change did solve my issue on setting the value but I m getting this type issue which is of course I have custom field type set to text which I cant change to array

  Do you need it to be stored in the DB?

  
  

  
  

  I feel like a

  ui

  field would be perfect for this

  Yes its a cart thats why and admin can add into some add ons in users cart, product is generally free but add ons are not and add ons varies according to product thats why I have to keep it there

  Well I understand that for addOns, but what is the need for selectedAddOns? Or am I misunderstanding?

  User can only select add ons from a single product he cant add another product or add ons from another product

  oic, you will likely want to use a

  json

  field type instead of text field type for your custom field

  Thank you for your help. I m very new to this and still exploring. Changing type to json helped.
