Adding a Text Modifier via Orders API

Questions
1

Hello,

We have certain items that include a text modifier, but cannot find a way to properly submit them on the line item.

I checked the OrderLineItemModifier reference and found two things:

  1. I couldn’t find a field name to submit the text value under
  2. There isn’t a related catalog_object_id to submit, where there would normally be one in the modifiers list (a CatalogModifier ID). When submitting the CatalogModifierList ID which is the only other relevant ID could find to use, I get the error (removed specific ID):
"Modifier option with catalog object ID `XXXX` not found."

Is there a proper way to submit values for a text based modifier on a line item in an order?

Thanks!

At this time the Orders API doesn’t currently support text modifiers. We’re constantly working to improve our features based on feedback like this, so I’ll be sure to share your request to the API product team. :slightly_smiling_face:
