Are you looking at desktop Pro 2017?  My options are different then those displayed.  I have no "New Note" Button on the item card, only the Note button which is already in use.  Don't seem to be able to create a second one that I can customize.  If this is a local data rebuild problem, wouldn't you be able to use the field in your sample file?  Wish Intuit would just fix this.  I have thousands of inventory items so the idea of manually entering data from this field again is not something I am happy about.  Thanks for your help.  e
