Hi,

Does anyone know how to add (and save) custom properties to an order from the frontend?

Take the (brilliant) example http://rune.gronkjaer.dk/en-US/2011/04/12/tea-commerce-dynamic-vat/ with the field "companyVATNo". How would one expose that field in the webshop to let the customer enter their VAT number, and have it saved to the order properties in a fashion that allows for the entered VAT number to be fetched from e.g. event handlers and to be displayed in the order summary in the admin interface?

I've tried adding the property name ("companyVATNo") to the list contained in the form field "UpdateOrderProperties" in "cartStep02.xslt" from the starter kit, and also added a form field with the same name and ID to the form, but it doesn't do the trick.

  <div class="stepProgress02" id="cart">
    <form action="/tcbase/teacommerce/SubmitForm.aspx" method="post">
      <input name="ReturnUrl" type="hidden" value="/en/cart/shipping-and-payment.aspx" />
      <input name="UpdateOrderProperties" type="hidden" value="company,companyVATNo,firstName,lastName,streetAddress,zipCode,city,country,telephone,email,comments,shipping_firstName,shipping_lastName,shipping_streetAddress,shipping_zipCode,shipping_city" />
      <input name="SetCurrentCountry" type="hidden" value="country" />
    <xsl:call-template name="CartStepProgress" />
      
      <!-- General customer information START -->
    <div id="paymentInformation">
      <h2>Customer information</h2>
      <label for="company">Company</label>
      <input type="text" id="company" name="company" value="{$order/properties/company}" />
      <label for="companyVATNo">VAT number</label>
      <input type="text" id="companyVATNo" name="companyVATNo" value="{$order/properties/companyVATNo}" />
      ...

Note: I'm using the 1.4.1.0 beta of Tea Commerce.
