Is it possible to add custom fields to the account records when using Quickbooks Online Plus? I don't see it as an option under the settings for Lists.

Thank you for reaching out about adding custom fields to account records in QuickBooks Online (QBO) Plus. Your interest in customizing your financial tracking is awesome. Let me clarify the current capabilities and limitations regarding custom fields in this version of QuickBooks.

To provide you with the most accurate information, could you please clarify what you mean by account records? Are you referring to customers, vendors, or other accounts within QuickBooks? This will help me tailor my response to your specific requirements.

In QBO Plus, you can create custom fields for certain forms, such as invoices, sales receipts, and purchase orders. However, please note that these custom fields are limited to three per form type. If you're looking to customize other areas, like customer or vendor profiles, there are some options available, but they might not apply directly to account records under the Lists section.

To add a custom field to forms in QBO Plus, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Settings and select Custom fields.
   
   
2. Click on the Add field.
3. Type a name in the Name field.
4. Select the All Sales forms or Purchase Order checkbox, or you can choose both.
5. Tap Save.
