Hi,
It shouldn't be like that. If you have a custom-field for any given product, the "add to cart" button should redirect shoppers to product details page (oppose to actually add it to cart).
There must be something wrong with the backend settings, I can't be sure what it is. I need to investigate your case deeply to figure out what goes wrong. Please fill out this support-request-form below and email it to
