Hi Team, I am working on cloud version of [Manager.io](http://Manager.io) and appreciate a lots of developments had been made with time! Earlier, I was able to extract **Custom Reports** with _ **Custom Fields** _ in past organizations. However, I have created a new business entity for recent organization and unable to extract _ **Custom Field** _ data on _ **Custom Reports** _. Can you please assist me here so I can extract the data in _ **Custom Report** _ and please also help me to understand the difference between Custom Fields and CustomFields2. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/manager1/original/3X/4/6/46cfb64b63fe1ae0a3a0cdae58e339fceaaff13b.png) ---

Welcome back @Rajwani, `Custom Fields` are the previous implementation, aka `Classic Custom Fields` found under **Settings** \> `Obsolete Features`. `CustomFields2` are the new implementation and they are not compatible with `Custom Reports`. For tab specific reports, you can now do so using `Advanced Queries` on tab views, relates lines views. For GL based reports, you can use `Advanced Queries` on **Summary** \> Transactions, howeve, here you cannot see any Custom Fields, unfortunately. ---

Hi Ealfardan, thank you its pleasure to reconnect! Appreciate your prompt response with such guidance and clarity. I might have to revisit for custom fields parameters, I had set-up a lot of information while deploying it. Do we expect that the feature will be enabled in “ **Custom Reports** ”, like it was for “ **Classic Custom Field** ”. Tab & GL report can suffice the utility to an extend in extracting data and validating the details limited to it, however, “ **Custom Report** ” is dynamic and pull information from multiple sources & give a wholistic picture which is easy and quick to absorb all things at once. Is there any specific reason for not having this feature for “ **CustomFields2** ”. ---

The reason being that Manager is moving away from `Custom Reports` in favor of `Advanced Queries`. I agree though that upgrading to `CustomFields2` places the user in an uncomfortable place especially if the user relied on `Custom Reports` for cross tab data. I vaguely recall the developer hinting at exposing Custom Fields to Transactions tab but I don’t think that that would be enough since this still ignores tab specific fields such as `Due Date` for example. I would really like to place this in #ideas, but I’m not sure what @lubos has in mind here ---

How does @lubos expect us to pull data from General Ledger Transactions linked/filtered with new custom fields since old custom reports don’t link to new custom fields and advanced queries don’t query from General Ledger Transactions? ---
