I am using Metaobject to create new unique Catalogue ID for each Catalogue that I create. This is under the Order Meta fields.

I create a new product call it Catalogue.

When I place an order to release a catalogue to the customer, I need to choose the the unique Catalogue ID sold to the customer. I am somehow not able to see the Catalogue ID meta field on the order page. Any suggestions?

On a different note, I also need to track the list of products I am showing in each of the Physical Catalogue as these catalogues keep changing every month. Anyone can suggest best approach for this as well?
