Re: Add and save custom field on order view page

Hello,

How can I add a new input field on order view page - something similar to the 'comments section'.

Purpose I need it is to save some code reference into it for some orders.

I need it for admin only, so this is NOT a checkout field, and I ant to be able to show it under sales grid columns as well, and further edit from sale view page.

Any idea appreciated!

Thanks

Decide a section where you want to add a custom field

and edit it based on your requirement.

For example:

Add the below code in app\code\Vendor\Module\view\adminhtml\layout\sales_order_view.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="admin-2columns-left"
      xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <!--add custom block -->
        <referenceBlock name="order_additional_info">
            <block class="Vendor\Module\Block\Adminhtml\Order\View\View" name="custom_view" template="order/view/view.phtml"/>
        </referenceBlock>
    </body>
</page>

Add the below code in app\code\Vendor\Module\Block\Adminhtml\Order\View\View.php

<?php
namespace Vendor\Module\Block\Adminhtml\Order\View\;
class View extends \Magento\Backend\Block\Template
{
    public function myFunction()
    {
        //your code
        return "Customers' Instruction";
    }
}

Add the below code in

app\code\Vendor\Module\view\adminhtml\templates\order\view\view.phtml

<div>
    <h1><?php echo $block->myFunction()?></h1>
    <h3>Thank you.</h3>
</div>

Well, what I find most difficult is that i need it to be an editable field which should be saved from the order view page. Displaying it inside a block wherever it's not the biggest challenge.
