Thank you for your reply. I would like to take your advice and use the type field and to add the options to the type drop down. I went in and can not seem to add options to the box containing the other type and I can not seem to access the field. If I need to copy something it is unclear what Perhaps you can instruct me on added items to the drop ...

Hi Tom, I'm going to try and break this down in parts. [quote user="tom"] Is there one central table that controls all these specific fields? All I end up with is a drop down box or a entry line with no value. Having trouble connecting the variable entry and the display, as well as knowing which additional ...

I have watched the webinars, have copied customer screens and have added fields to tables, etc. I have the basics down, but without having a better overall view of the process and screen flow, I am doing a lot of trial and error and it is taking along time with no clear result in sight. I wish to create 2 globally accessable shared variables. One ...

@Mike The bottom line is that we cannot switch the data type for existing QuickBooks fields. Method can't and no other developer can either.

Let me add to my last point, this is a stock screen setting. You can customize the screen to show the Purchase Description if the Sales Description is blank.

Apologies John, just realised I was using the Sales Information section when adding the new item. You were correct when you stated that the description does not display for products/services that you purchase. This is not an issue, rather a platform limitation. - Ashur

It may be due to your version of QBO, I'm testing this on a QuickBooks Online Essentials account. Are you using the stock Word Orders screen? If so, email me your contact information and let me know when I can get in touch with you for a screen sharing session. - Ashur
