Adding a custom field issue

    I followed your excellent instruction on adding a custom field.
    Company Name
    in functions.php

      $config['company'] = [
        'label' => __('Company Name', 'your_theme_domain'),
        'placeholder' => __('Company Name', 'your_theme_domain'),
        'required' => true,
        'type' => 'text',
    ];

    It appears nicely on the review form, what does not happen is that when I approve the review I see this.
    In the name field is the name I input then next to it is the custom field placeholder I created so.
    “This is my name {{ company }}”
    it’s in the add filter for the correct sort / postioning order. It just won’t appear on the review.
    I have obviously missed something simple but cannot see what.
    Can you suggest anything?
    Thanks, R.

    Adding custom fields is not supported. If you would like to do it on your own, the pastebin link provides the basic examples that you need: https://pastebin.com/4fvKErcp

    Thanks, I did read that first, and got my custom field displaying ok on the form and taking input.
    What I am stuck with is seeing that input when I approve the review for view on a page. Missing something will give it another re-read. I just see the {{company}} placeholder showing on the review front end. 🙁

    Excellent! I now have it working, BUT…

    One teeny issue (there’s always one)

    I got this working but I need a space/ C/R. In visible Approved reviews I now see this

    Joe BlogsRolls Royce

    Name is displayed and the company name ( my custom field ) but NO space between them or carriage return (preferrable)
    Any suggestions?

    I’ve added 2% spacing to the custom CSS field but would like a carriage return if at all possible.
