Is there a way to show the Notes from an order in the /shop/orders/ screen?

In the List Setup I can add Customer Notes but not the Notes from the order that we add.

thanks

Hi,

It is possible to add this column to the list by adding a new relation to the Shop_Product model in a custom module:

public function subscribeEvents()
{
    Backend::$events->addEvent('shop:onExtendOrderModel', $this, 'extend_order_model');
}
 
public function extend_order_model($product)
{
    $product->define_relation_column('notes', 'notes', 'Notes ', db_varchar, '@note');
}

I wouldn't like to make it a default feature, because displaying multi-line notes posted by different users in a single list row involves some complications. Feel free to extend the order model by yourself.

Thank you

Hi Aleksey, Yes I understand it could cause display issues if the notes are rather long. Maybe a useful modification (for all users) would be a feature to enable the note column BUT instead of displaying the text it could display an icon, to alert the user that there are notes in the order screen to read. If there are no notes then no icon is displayed. I think most users would find that useful?
