I am customising the opportunities screen and trying to make the field 'leadsource' a required field. When I try to tick the required box I get this message  'Cannot change the field to a required field as there are currently NULL entries in the table.  Change all NULL values and then you may make this field ...

I’ve just noticed a problen using the October version of Method. I’m print previewing an invoice and the ’Invoice.TxnDate' is being rendered in the PDF as '[Invoice.TxnDate!dd/MM/' When I switch back to the August version it displays OK.

Hi Vicki, Unfortunately no.  There is no way to change where the field links from QBO to Method. And even with a linked field from the Contacts table to the Customer table, changes have to be made to the Contacts table in order to save. Since the linked field would be on the Edit Customer screen, you will not be able to write to or save the ...
