    Yes, all db tables need the ability to add and display custom fields. I would use this to assign expenses to projects so I could get readily reimbursed, and add phone numbers, url's, interest rates, etc. to account overviews, just to name a few.

    This seems easy to implement, either in gnucash core, or in a sister program that opens the GC db's read-only & keeps the additional fields in a separate db which shares primary keys. A third approach would have the sister program use the GC db, calling GC functions/methods, which would hopefully insure db integrity.

    It would be nice to be able to customize the availability of fields, like have the above set of fields available on credit card accounts, and another set available on checking accounts. I don't know how easy it would be to implement this.

    And while we're at it, we might as well add calculated fields too. I can think of some applications.
