It says It looks like you have added a hidden input field with a value correctly, but it's missing the other attribute it needs.

What am I missing? Can't seem to figure out the right attributes??

Hmmm ... it looks like you have a stray line of code in there:

<input type="hidden" value="flavor">

That's the input element the code challenge is checking; it's missing a name attribute. But it looks like you actually have the correct element below:

<input type="hidden" value="7546" name="order_id">

Remove the earlier stray line, and it should work.

"Hint: We need to add a new HTML element with three attributes" You have find the two of them. the type and the value. you need the third. what is the name of the input element?
