Hidden field for invoice in the API
Ability within the API to assign hidden data to an invoice. The additional field can be a string(255) that can accept data in any format (e.g. JSON), or any other format of data an internal system might need.
This would enable other systems linking to xero to pass specific data to and from internal systems and link invoices back using the API.
We currently pass some data using the reference, but this is visible to customers on the invoice so can cause confusion and it not as useful as passing JSON data.

Hi Juliet, appreciate you joining community here. For ideas that relate to Xero's API we have a Developer forum where you can ask for these sort of changes. There are also experts in this field involved in the site there to communicate any change and keep users updated on ideas for connecting to Xero.
We'll remove your idea from the site here, but I encourage you to add this to Xero's Developer Community Feature request site over here.
