Hi.

Is it possible to have Order Custom Values.
Often we need to make some actions on the order depend on the custom information.
Simplest example is "Nominated Delivery Date", when customer entitled for recorded delivery and can select delivery date.
Currently we use order Notes for this purpose, but to be honest we not really like to flood Order Notes with the service information. Would be good to have something simple as key-value pairs, could be even <string,string>.

That's not only about delivery dates, lots of information could be saved there which help process orders and make orders more flexible to maintain from the code.

Thanks.

Thanks. But I think order notes perfectly meet this requirement. There's no need to make source code more complex (adding new entity, code, etc) just to add some notes in key-value format. Order notes are fine

This new 3.50 feature may interest you...   Custom values will be displayed in the admin order details.  (CustomValuesXml is a property of an Order.)   However, there is still no way for the store owner to enter such values; currently, they can only be populated by plugins.
