There is a new field called 'Field Code' available on user and order profiles Custom Fields settings.
This field helps to match custom fields on both forms if they have the same value.
This can be used for many purposes, for example, if customers are required to fill in their VAT exemption number during registration
then during checkout VAT number could be pre-filled with the value from user's registration profile.
Settings:
The registration custom fields are set up in Settings > Site Users > User Types > Customer > Profile Settings >
'Custom Fields' tab.
The checkout custom fields can be set up in Settings > Orders > Order Profile Page > 'Custom Order Fields' tab.
The value in order and user profiles MUST BE IDENTICAL, for example if in user type's Field Code you wrote "VAT" then in order
profile's Field Code must be "VAT" as well.
Note: Order custom field information can also be exported - when you create a custom field in Settings > Orders > Order Profile Page > 'Custom Order Fields' tab
and you have at least one order with this custom field specified then such field is automatically added in export columns list.
