 * Im trying to make the ‘Order Notes’ field required. I’m using the code below 
   but it wont work. Help!!
 * // Hook in
    add_filter( ‘woocommerce_checkout_fields’ , ‘custom_override_checkout_fields’);
 * // Our hooked in function – $fields is passed via the filter!
    function custom_override_checkout_fields(
   $fields ) { $fields[‘order_comments’][‘required’] = false; return $fields; }

 * I think it should be:
 *     ```
       $fields['order']['order_comments']['required'] = true;
       ```
