custom_field

Description

For a transaction, a custom field is historical record of the custom field added to a transaction during checkout. When created during the original transaction, they are also duplicated as transaction attributes. Custom fields can be added, removed and modified after a transaction is complete.

Custom fields also exist on carts and multiship shipments.

Warning: in the future, custom fields may be removed, so it's advised to use attributes for reporting purposes.
