Meta: prefix on custom fields

Hi,

We use software called BPA Platform (previously known as Taskcentre) to integrate WooCommerce and Sage 200.

We have some requirements where we need to link to additional non standard fields created by plugins. I understand in newer versions of WooCommerce any additional field name must now be prefixed with ‘Meta:’.

The issue we’re having is that within BPA Platform you define additional WooCommerce fields using an XML schema. However the schema won’t allow the character : (as in ‘Meta: blah blah’) to be used in the field name.

Is there a workaround that can be used in WooCommerce where the Meta: prefix isn’t needed or can be coded around to appear differently? Perhaps a code snippet that can be put into the functions file of the website?

We’ve recently upgraded our site and WooCommerce (was previously on v2 versions), and back then additional fields didn’t have the Meta: prefix, hence how we’ve only just run into this issue with the character ‘:’.

Many thanks in advance
