custom date field

Hello there, W012.

You were correct in stating that custom fields can be added while generating a printing packing list. However, it seems that custom fields cannot be added when creating a transaction.

I know how convenient and time-saving it is to have it added, to QuickBooks Desktop. I highly recommend sending your feedback to QuickBooks so our developer may analyze and include your suggestions in future releases.

To submit feedback, here's how:

1. Choose the Help option.
2. Select the Send Feedback Online option.
3. And then choose the Product Suggestion option. A pop-up window displays.
4. Enter your feedback suggestion.
5. Then Send Feedback button. 

I have included an article for you to read, in case you are interested in learning more about creating and using custom fields in QuickBooks Desktop.

If you require further assistance with QuickBooks Desktop, please leave a comment below. The Community is always available to help. Stay safe.

RE: Can I add the calendar drop down to a custom field in QuickBooks Enterprise?

No. Custom fields can be "typed" as dates, but they won't have the little date pick list widgit.
