 * Hello, I’ve created new field in woocommerce checkout – I named it “_\_billing\
   _ico_“. Right now, I’m trying to change it to “_\_billing\_ic_“, without “_o_“,
   but I cannot find any page in administration or settings where can I do that.
   Can you please help me with this?

 * Hello [@bramatton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bramatton/)
 * The added field gets its unique **meta_name** in the database which cannot be
   edited.
    Please remove this field and add it again with the same settings but
   with a changed label that will generate the correct **meta_name**.

 * Hello [@tomaszwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tomaszwp/), thank you so
   much for your reply. What about all Woocommerce orders that are in database linked
   with previous meta name? Won’t something happen to them if I delete the old meta
   value? Is there some way how we can change/correct them?

 * Hello [@bramatton](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bramatton/)
 * Good point. I thought it was a new field – the change of which will not have 
   a major impact.
    If the field is removed/disabled then the information about 
   this field is removed/disabled from the order. I am sorry but the plugin does
   not offer to change the field ID because a different ID means a different field.
