Hi Nick,

Not sure if this is the right direction or not but I'll pass along what
I did in a similar situation.

I had to edit mv_metatdata and add a row for the new table field.  Until
I did that I could not get it to "stick"  Try adding a row to
mv_metadata with orderline::tracking_number as the code and then find a
similar row in mv_metatdata that does what you want and then make your
new row look similar to that.  Hope that helps.
