    Hi everyone, we thoroughly appreciate your engagement and sharing how custom fields would be advantageous to you here.

    With lots of work for 'building on beautiful' underway atm, we want to be honest that custom fields is not planned in the near term.

    Some in the idea here, may find the recent addition of Notes that can be added within the Contact Details section of a contacts record useful in being able to record and view specific detail relative to a contact at present - More on this shared here

    We'll continue to evaluate the viability of largely voted ideas such as this when there is resource, however this unlikely in the next 12 months.

    honestly can't believe after 15+ years of operation custom fields are still not even in the pipeline. For a company that touts the number of integrations it has with other systems, it seems strange to me that custom fields aren't available (or apparently even a priority) as this is fundamental to me to enable the use of unique IDs related to other systems to enable proper 2-way synchronisation.

    We see more and more customers asking for specific information on their invoices, especially in big organisations that have multiple business units. They ask for things like project codes (above and beyond PO numbers), relevant project manager names to show on the invoice, etc, etc
