Actually Bill I see you've said you are using a configurable item for
the thread color, so you probably won't have the comment box visible as
they are missing from configurable product screen template. You might
consider using a virtual product with the thread colors features to
drive variants instead if that's the case, then you'll get the comment
box back.
Failing that a small code change to pull the comment code into
ConfigProductDetail.ftl
<#assign commentEnable =
Static["org.apache.ofbiz.entity.util.EntityUtilProperties"]
.getPropertyValue("order", "order.item.comment.enable",
delegator)>
<#if commentEnable.equals("Y")>
<#assign orderItemAttr =
Static["org.apache.ofbiz.entity.util.EntityUtilProperties"]
.getPropertyValue("order", "order.item.attr.prefix",
delegator)>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="${orderItemAttr}comment">
${uiLabelMap.CommonComment} </label> <input type="text"
class="form-control" name="${orderItemAttr}comment"
id="${orderItemAttr}comment"/>
</div>
</#if>

Hi Bill
I don't think you have another OOTB option except the 'comment' box on
the product page. You could add some text to the product description
to tell the user that they should provide their chosen name in the
comment field. This gets carried through to an Order Item Attribute
and is shown on the checkout screen etc.
You might have comments disabled depending on the value of
'order.item.comment.enable' in order.properties.

Thank you Jason.
I see how that works now. Are you aware of any other inputs that
might be
on the same initial screen?
I am thinking about OOTB so I don't have to custom develop.

Hey Bill,
Take a look at the demo content and see how the Gift Cards are setup -
they have a product survey that captures the user's response to
questions.

Hope that helps,

Happy Thursday...
I am looking for a way where a user can enter custom text on an order
line
item.
A user orders a toolbag and wants to have his name embroidered on
it in
Red
thread. It's fairly easy to set up a configurable item with a thread
color
selection but where would be a good place to start for a name entry
of 10
letters.
The only discussion I have been able to find is from back in 2016 on
MarkMail.

Any pointers are most appreciated. Thanks.
