A client is asking to have a customer order note section in their checkout.
I looked at this solution but it seems a little convoluted for what the client needs.
Then I came across this solution on GitHub. I can see there appears to be a totally unused field in the sales_flat_order
table called customer_note
right in the original sales_setup setup files. So it’s been there since Magento 1.6. But it seems completely unused.
My question is, very simply (and grep tells me the answer is no), is customer_note
in the sales_flat_order
table used anywhere? Or is this OK to use for this own basic extension?
