Once you create a custom field in Employee Set up, you don't have the option to change formatting, type of field, etc. Sometimes these need adjustments after a field is in place, deleting a field, recreating it to add a few spaces and having to rekey the information into every Employee record is very time consuming and an impractical solution.

We'd like to re-order the custom fields on the list as well without impacting anything negatively.
Can custom field items be numbered so the numbers may be changed or rearranged easily? We originally tried to group the information in the custom fields so you have to scroll to the section needed but if additional information needs to be added to a group, it has to be added at the bottom which is almost worthless. Also, if items could be numbered, when entering custom fields, it would be efficient if a number could be selected and the screen go to that number to enter info or make a change. Scrolling gets real old and tiresome!! I can think of a format to create for a master custom fields if you want it. The programming would need to be done to make it function.
to be able to rearrange the order and make them side by side. We have certifications that need expiration dates and license numbers. I don't want to have a list straight down because with 3 fields times as many as 15 the list can get vary long
Being able to rearrange the order and change the field type will be great. if there is different tab we can add for custom fields and being able to modify the name of the tab will be great. the custom fields in Payroll are used to track licenses and other things so will be nice to be able to group it instead of scrolling thru the whole list.
