Pass Custom field to PayPal

Hi, 
I'm using Membership Pro 3.4.1 under Joomla 3.1.x. I have been asked by the treasurer of our organization if it is possible to pass a Custom field (in this case the name of the subscribers Organization) in the Payment info sent to PayPal to help them reconcile subscriptions and renewals. 

In looking at the Translation Tables I see two values that appear to be what is being sent to PayPal by the interface. 
OSM_PAYMENT_FOR_SUBSCRIPTION (Payment for [PLAN_TITLE] subscription)
OSM_PAYMENT_FOR_RENEW_SUBSCRIPTION (Payment for [PLAN_TITLE] Membership renewal)

Is it possible to pass a custom field in this translation? For example
Payment for [PLAN_TITLE] subscription [- CUSTOM_FIELD_1]

If not, is there another way to add metadata to the info sent to PayPal? 

Hi

Yes. You can use the syntax [NAME_OF_FIELD_IN_UPPERCASE] in these language items (for example, if the custom field name is custom_field_1, then the tag is [CUSTOM_FIELD_1]) in these language items to pass the information to PayPal

You would also need to change OSM_PAYMENT_FOR_UPGRADE_SUBSCRIPTION language item as well (this is for the case users upgrade from a plan to another plan in case you use it)

Ok, just to confirm, this would be a valid translation value?

Payment for [PLAN_TITLE] subscription - [CUSTOM_FIELD_1]

Lastly, is there any ability to do logic (e.g. test for the existence of a value)?

Hi Scott

Yes. That's the right syntax. Unfortunately, there is not an option to test for doing logic on that language item. If the value is empty, it will be replaced with an empty string (space)
