Create our own field with transaction data in privatenet

Question

I know we have 'data' field to add any comments but is it possible to add our own field based on the application ie; a field like 'purchased products' which will have purchased products of a user along with transaction data in privatenet?

But no one has answered yet...:( – angelmaria Nov 22 '17 at 09:29 — angelmaria, Nov 22 '17 at 09:29

Using web3.js you can use sendTransaction(). For example with the geth console:

geth attach geth.ipc
> web3.eth.sendTransaction({
    from: web3.eth.coinbase,
    to: toAddress,
    value: web3.toWei(ethers),
    data: web3.toHex("My comment")
  })

Replace toAddress with desired receipient, ethers with number of ethers to send, and "My comment" with the comment you want.

See https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/JavaScript-API#web3ethsendtransaction for details.

Instead of passing comment in 'data' field . Can we create a new field with new name? – angelmaria Jan 15 '18 at 05:49

What if I need to add a custom field along with transaction details when a function call from contract is done? – lekshmi Aug 21 '18 at 06:29
