 * Hi, is there any way I can adjust the checkout error message? I have a required
   checkout field, however if someone tries to place the order without filling it
   out, the error message reads ‘extensions > ywcdd/delivery-date[ywcdd_date] is
   not of type string.’ which doesn’t really make sense to the customer. It would
   be great if it could read something like ‘Please enter your preferred collection
   date or time’
 * Hope you can help
