I've made an add-to-cart button with two "extra" text fields (text boxes) in addition to the item selection.
FYI, here it is: http://motor-conference.org/registration.html
This works BUT i can't figure out how to get a listing (CSV (comma separated value) file similar) that shows info for the 2nd extra text box. If i try to "download transactions," i can get a CSV file that is a table of the details for each transaction BUT the 2nd extra text field is OMITTED somehow. The relevant fields i get are titled:
"Option 1 Name" which is the name of the item selection field,
"Option 1 Value" which is the content of the item selection field,
"Option 2 Name" which is the name of the first extra text box,
"Option 2 Value" which is the content of the first extra text box,
But there is no "Option 3 Name" or "Option 3 Value" which would presumably have the content of the 2nd extra text box!!
"Download history" does have an option to select fields, but there is not "option 3 name" or "option 3 value" present there.
FYI, the 2nd text box contents are being recorded by paypal as i can see them if i click on an individual transaction, but i need a way of getting at this information for many transactions at the same time - like in a big list (which "download history" gives). And i cant figure out a way of doing that...

Perhaps when you customize field columns from the Download History page, be sure to tick the "Option Names and Values" check box and see if that will include all your option names and their values.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
