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.

This is ridiculous that custom fields are not a thing for all entities (Contacts, Invoices etc) in Xero. They would need to be defined in the settings area and then as they aren't just created ad-hoc per invoice, contact (or whatever entity they're associated with), they could be searchable and reportable.
For example, one reason for these is it would be great to have a custom field on an invoice for us to be able to add our back-costing margin figure from our job management software to enable us to do more reporting directly from Xero.
This then allows us to make Xero our central hub for ALL our financial data, management accounting included, not just taxation-based accounting.
How long is it going to take you to get this added? These are available in other accounting packages.
