When I import from a CSV, I'd love the opportunity to customize our Custom Fields (1-3) so that it's clear what they're being used for. We currently have to use a shared document with a key. And that's not as simple as just being able to have a column that clearly says what the data means.

This is something our company REALLY needs as well. This has been in consideration for 4 years now?  How hard is it really to give customers the ability to label those 3 fields?  Hope it one day becomes a priority. Thanks!

I agree. We could benefit from this option as well. I'm surprised it's not already available.

Oh, come on guys, it was JUST requested only 6.5 years ago, and they JUST started investigating it a year ago.

I'm sorry that I've become cynical. It's just extremely frustrating that such a simple-to-implement feature has not been. If your backend is THAT big of a mess, you can just add it superficially (i.e., to the front end), so I don't see the issue.

I'd say the main cause for my frustration comes from the fact that so many people use custom fields as a workaround for hundreds of different features that are not available. So, in reality, the custom fields are much more than just a few "custom fields." I'd love to see the ability to add more than three custom fields. So often, a value decision has to be made about what data should be assigned to the limited fields. In large part due to the very inflexible and convoluted way automation is done on this platform.

P.S. I clicked "Post Your Comment," and it triggered a login screen, even though I am already logged in on this browser. But wait, this comment isn't a complaint! I thought I had surely lost what I had typed, but thankfully I did not! So props to whoever is responsible for this. 👍
