They have some products that customers can have engraved, so they need to capture what text the client wants on the product. So, we essentially need a free-form product option -- a text field into which the customer can enter information, and this is stored with the product for that customer. Has anyone ever done this?

Basically, we want to capture what the user enters in a text field in the same way that an option field is captured (typically used to say select the colour or size of a product). How can we do this?
