I created a custom data to pull from the metafield at order. The Customer’s Name input in the order page is needed to pull to integrate into the template in order printer. I tried {{ order.metafields.custom.customer_s_name }}, but it seems like its not working

@Johnston I believe the value can be accessed via the value property. In your case:

{{ order.metafields.custom.customer_s_name.value }}
