Address Custom Fields (Attributes) in NXT

Brent Weaver

I was shocked to discover that the Address Attributes (Custom Fields) do not show in NXT. These are critical in providing context for changes/issues with specific addresses. Can this be fast-tracked? All records-specific attributes should be visible and editable.

@Brent Weaver - I recommend you check out the RE NXT Idea Bank - this is the best place to make sure the elements you need in WV are communicated to Developers as they look for insight on what to build out next.

There are already a couple of ideas related to this topic, I recommend voting for them:

• Addresses panel needs to show address attributes: https://renxt.ideas.aha.io/ideas/RENXT-I-5680
• Allow custom fields for existing addresses in RE NXT: https://renxt.ideas.aha.io/ideas/RENXT-I-3606

@Austen Brown Why hasn't this been done already? Custom fields are often a workaround tool and are used for specific purposes. It seems they would be the first to be migrated.

@Brent Weaver - I can't say, as I don't work for Blackbaud. WV is a work in progress - the good news is as BB is building out the “total web solution” they are actively seeking feedback on all areas of the database, including things like this - where something is ‘missing’. If you have anything else on your wish list for WV, I encourage you visit the Idea Bank and vote for existing ideas or add your own.

@Brent Weaver Trying to be a 'better dba and use web view" more, I went there today to add an appeal to a specific record. Not an available function. I went to idea bank and found several posts but each only had a handful of votes. I will be going to the ideas Austen listed as we use address attributes and need that function.
