Hi,

I have two questions that are related to each other:

1. Is there a way to use the "restrictions / display limited to" function when the two fields are in 2 different steps in the checkout-process?
2. Is it possible to get the input-values of custom fields in a previous step in the checkout process in javascript?
   I want to display certain input-fields to hide and show, depending on previous selected values.

Hello Peter,

1. The "Restrictions / Display limited to" option was originally developed for custom fields that are on the same view / checkout step

2. You actually can retrieve custom fields values by checking the form data after every step.

Kind regards,
Mohamed.

Hi Mohammed,

Thanks for the reply.

• I can imagine that there are situations that you would like to display certain (custom) fields depending on values in a previous step. Maybe a new feature in an upcoming release?
• How can I retrieve these values? I tried to get the values wit a php $_GET or $_POST but they both are empty. The POST cid-1 is directly going to a GET cid-2 with a 303-status.

Hello Peter,

Well you can actually retrieve order custom fields values by directly checking your cart data :

		// Get the current cart
		$checkoutHelper = hikashopCheckoutHelper::get();
		$cart = $checkoutHelper->getCart();

Thank you Mohammed, this was exactly what I was looking for.

Kind regars, and a happy 2020!
Peter
