But it's possible that a save do not contains the fields because it don't want to change the value. It does not mean that you can't put some data into.

Thanks and regards, Paul")* Hi, Yes, In the $order object you get in onAfterOrderCreate , you only have the custom order fields that are being saved with the order creation. If your custom order field is not in the checkout, then it won't be in $order in that trigger. But as Jerome said, you can run a MySQL query to set it. Or you can even use the onBeforeOrderCreate trigger to set it in $order and it will be saved for you when the order is created in the database.
