 * I am trying to figure out how to export a customer note/”comment”. I have done
   it before but it’s been several months and I can’t figure out why it isn’t working
   now.
 * In the woocommerce/includes/class-wc-checkout.php, I added the following.
    However,
   this information is not appearing in the individual orders or in the exports.
 *  woocommerce_form_field( ‘my_field_for class’, array(
    ‘type’ => ‘text’, ‘class’
   => array(‘my-field-class form-row-wide’), ‘label’ => __(‘Who is eating lunch?
   Please provide student(s) name & classroom(s)’), ‘placeholder’ => __(‘e.g. Sally/
   1st, Michael/KH, Parent’),
 *  ), $checkout->get_value( ‘my_field_name’ ));
 *  echo ‘</div>’;

 * You shouldn’t be editing that file. Your changes will be lost on update, plus
   it is never wise to edit the core code.
 * See this guide on adding custom checkout fields: [https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/tutorial-customising-checkout-fields-using-actions-and-filters/](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/tutorial-customising-checkout-fields-using-actions-and-filters/)
 * If you can’t quite figure out the code you need for this or how to do it, then
   you may need to hire a developer or use an extension like [Checkout Field Editor](https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-checkout-field-editor/).
