Allowed to add custom columns to order grid via JS Script.

To add custom grid column, you need:

  1. Add extensions service for columns registration:
'platformWebApp.ui-grid.extension' as gridOptionExtension
  1. Add code snippet:
gridOptionExtension.registerExtension("customerOrder-list-grid", function (gridOptions) {
    var customColumnDefs = [
        { name: 'newField', displayName: 'orders.blades.customerOrder-list.labels.newField', width: '***' }
    ];

    gridOptions.columnDefs = _.union(gridOptions.columnDefs, customColumnDefs);
});
  1. Is a way to add a field to the drop-down menu without adding it to the grid - need to add visible: false to the column definition.

You can find the complete sample code here: vc-module-order/order2.js at master · VirtoCommerce/vc-module-order · GitHub
