Hello llanqui,

This is an undocumented object used for setting atm strategy specific properties on an order before submitting the order with StartAtmStrategy().

The object type is CustomOrder (and is not a string). i.e. new CustomOrder().

Ok, thanks

It would be great to have a user (developer) defined string field as part of the Order...because for example I cannot use the Name field .... it must be "Entry" if I'm going to submit an ATM order

I would like to have another string field so I can categorize my orders according to my custom ninjascript system

or is there one that I don't see?

Hello llanqui,

Unfortunately, there is not a string property where you are able to save a value with the order.

I will submit a feature request for the development team to consider this. Once I have a tracking ID for the request I will post in this thread for future reference.

Hello llanqui,

This request is being tracked with ID # SFT-4366.

Please note, we receive many requests and cannot reasonably implement all requested features or changes. Interest is tracked internally and if enough interest is tracked, it would be weighed against how feasible it would be to make those changes to consider implementing, so we cannot offer an ETA or promise of fulfillment.

When new features are implemented, they will be listed in the Release Notes page of the Help Guide. The ID number may be different than the internal feature request tracking ID, but the description of the feature will let you know if that feature has been implemented.
