Orderline fields not initiated

Hello,
I think we have found a small bug.

We have added a few custom fields to the order lines, for example, a "Reference" field.

When I add a new product to the cart, the order line fields are not initiated on the order line.
I only have these 5 fields:

I need to go to the orderline click edit, like on the screenshot above and save it.
Only then are all the order line fields initiated:

Hi WiKtor,
OrderLineFields need to be assigned to the Shop or to Groups before they are initiated:

Sorry, I forgot to mention, we already checked it earlier. Everything is there.

Please note that when I hit save on the orderline the fields are initiated.

Could you please let me know if anyone is looking into it? 🙏

Edit: I got this information:

This is standard behaviour - you need to add the orderline field as part of the add to cart command https://doc.dynamicweb.dev/documentation/implementing/commerce/cartcommands.html#add

If you need to include blank data for each orderline field, i.e. "initialize" them then you have to do so via custom code

Hi Wiktor,
I don't have any additional suggestions; it's up to DW team to suggest a solution.
Maybe you can open a ticket with Dynamicweb Care?
