"Custom Field 1" is updating correctly, but not "Note from Buyer"

[frostbeardstudio]

I've got everything mostly working, but only "Custom Field 1" is updating correctly. "Note from Buyer" still shows this type of tracking data from apps.

null<br/>internal-tracking-data: 123

Could you help me troubleshoot what's going on?

Sure, can you post what's getting logged?

Yep, here's a full log of a recent test.

I've been troubleshooting a bit. I've discovered that I was able to manually assign a value to $note on line 15 of NoteParser and have it sync to Shipstation. For whatever reason, the empty "" value doesn't want to work.

[rmddx]

oh, that rings a bell. I fixed that locally but never pushed it up. sorry! af732b91b87a3c4618617c3a64be29f1bb85690a adds a space to empty notes.

[frostbeardstudio]

Nice! It's working for us now.

Follow up question: do you know if there's a way to format the note so that it's totally blank? We use the "Note from Buyer" icon as a visual way to look for messages. Even the blank " " darkens the icon.

[rmddx]

The demo account I used to develop this has expired so testing isn't easy at the moment. Does passing a null value instead of a string work?

Or maybe try unsetting the customerNotes key around here

if (!trim($parser->getNote())) {
    unset($order['customerNotes']);
}

[frostbeardstudio]

Sadly that does not work. Passing a null or empty "" results in the customer note not changing.

It's weird, though. If I manually edit the note in Shipstation to any number of spaces, the icon returns to a light gray.

I'm happy to keep testing. If I get an update from the Shipstation API team I'll share it here.

thanks. curious to know if you find a solution
