How to allow "comment" on recurring donation button

We have a variable donation button (PayPay hosted) with the feature of allowing the customer to enter a special comment/instructions "in honor or memory of"

This works fine. However, now that PayPal is once again allowing "make this monthly"  - if my customer ticks the recurring box, they are whisked off to enter their credit card data and not allowed to fill in the comment/instructions.

 

Is there something I am missing on the PayPal button set up? Or does someone know enough coding to help me design a button that allows donors to enter whatever amount they want, allows them to check the "make this monthly" AND allows them to enter a comment/instruction. Because, yes I want that $50 a month noted that it is in memory of the person's mother.

 

Thank you

Joan

I am definitely not an experienced code person, however, I am as close as it gets to an IT person for our little museum. While we have been using this PayPal hosted code for some time, their new screen now has dropped the "comment" field altogether. Sigh.

 

Did this work to show you the code?
