You need to tell Interchange that you are using an item modifier. That way
this information on the product is also held in the cart when the product is
ordered.

See: http://www.icdevgroup.org/i/dev/docfly.html?mv_arg=icconfig05%2e98 for
info on the UseModifier directive.

You then need to handle the item-modifier in the cart so it isn't lost
during a refres of the cart. That has been covered in the list. In fact, it
is also covered by a note on the above page.
