if (perch_shop_cart_has_property('message')) perch_shop_cart('Message',[ 'message' => perch_get('message') ]);

What are you attempting to do with the below code? From my point of view it's nonsense:

perch_shop_cart('Message',[ 'message' => perch_get('message') ])

This is on the cart page to redisplay the text if it exists: if (perch_shop_cart_has_property('message')) perch_get('message');
perch_shop_cart([ 'template' => 'cart/message.html' ]);

This is on cart_static to display the text if it exists: if (perch_shop_cart_has_property('message')) perch_get('message');

The add-to-cart template for adding the textarea is above.

perch_get() reads items from the URL. I think you want perch_shop_get_cart_property()

I am trying to display the value entered by the user in a textarea on the cart page.

The template cart/message.html: <perch:form id="add_to_cart" app="perch_shop"> <perch:input id="message" type="textarea" rows="6" cols="40" cart-property="message" required="false" /><br /> <perch:input type="submit" id="submit" value="Save comments" class="btn-primary btn" /> </perch:form>

perch_shop_get_cart_property() returns nothing, even if I set a value for perch:input directly in the template.

The following displays the set value in the template but doesn't save and redisplay a user-entered value. perch_shop_cart([ 'template' => 'cart/message.html' ]);

Both conditions if (perch_shop_cart_has_property('message', true)) and if (perch_shop_cart_has_property('message') always fail, even after entering content in the textarea and even after merely displaying the textarea in the template with the set value above.

Any suggestions?

What does perch_shop_get_cart_property() return?

For: perch_shop_get_cart_property('message')

Using template: /templates/shop/cart/message.html
[1] SELECT cartProperties FROM perch3_shop_cart WHERE cartID=37
[1] SELECT cartProperties FROM perch3_shop_cart WHERE cartID=37
[1] SELECT cartProperties FROM perch3_shop_cart WHERE cartID=37

Array
(
    [type] => 8
    [message] => Undefined variable: prop
    [file] => /home2/cookieg1/public_html/perch/addons/apps/perch_shop/runtime/cart.php
    [line] => 44
)

For: perch_shop_get_cart_property() same diagnostic, but also a message on screen: Warning: Missing argument 1 for perch_shop_get_cart_property(), called in /home2/cookieg1/public_html/cart.php on line 52 and defined in /home2/cookieg1/public_html/perch/addons/apps/perch_shop/runtime/cart.php on line 41

Ok, it looks like the answer is no in that case.
