Hi Christoffer

Submitting the cart? Are you trying to update the value from the cart?

You add the value of an orderline field from add-to-cart from a product - see:

https://doc.dynamicweb.com/forum/templates/templates/orderline-field-not-added

Also remember to attach the orderlinefield to a group first: see https://doc.dynamicweb.com/documentation-9/ecommerce/product-catalog/product-groups#2702

thanks Nicolai.

well i would like to save a value in the field OrderLineAttachment in EcomOrderLines, when the cart is submitted/order is created.

regarding the links you provided and adding orderline fields to a product group, i thought that this is only needed for custom orderline fields ?

and all the standard orderline fields like OrderLineOrderId is included as is? 

we also tried adding a custom orderline field, but the problem is, we cant select custom orderline fields in data integration - column mapping and we need that value in our order export.

that is why we have tried adding a value to the OrderlineAttachment field, as is is the ony "standard" orderline field we are not using and we can select it in the column mapping in the export.

Ah - I missed that detail, sorry. I did not know the field!

Looking at the code, it seems that this field is not supported in the frontend at all - Dynamicweb will not pick it up, which is why you cannot use it. Must be from 'old days'...

I will bug it so it will be part of the checkout field. You can set it by code using OrderLine.Attachment = "Value" and then it will go into the database and be shown in the backend.

Sorry about the inconvenience!

no problem!

well i did actually try that and i dont see any data on the database in the OrderlineAttachement field. i tried it with adding this: cartOrderLine.attachment = "value";

to the /json/Cart.cshtml file. and it does not seem to work.

i also found some other posts where people say it can be done with a custom orderlinefield and setting data like this:

<input type="hidden" name="EcomOrderlineFieldInput_TestMyField" value="testvalue" />

but this does  not work. i did add the custom orderline field to the productgroup and i did see that the field ORDERLINEFIELDVALUES did actually change.

when i look in the database i now have this below tag, but still missing the value inside it. 

am i not using the correct naming for the input field with EcomOrderlineFieldInput_SystemName ?
