    Not in pipeline  ·  AdminKelly Munro (Community Manager, Xero) responded

    Hi everyone, we’ve taken time to review the suggestion to include custom fields for both invoices and contacts, and recognise the value it'd bring in helping users capture more detailed information and avoid manual processes.

    However, with other focuses drawing the teams attention such as multiple addresses this idea is not on our current development roadmap.

    As we continue to plan future roadmaps, being highly supported this idea will continue to be considered, however we want to be open about it's current position with you all here. We appreciate you sharing your feedback and for your ongoing participation in the Xero community. Any changes to this status will be shared with everyone on this idea.

    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
