 I have created a custom field called "Flight Number" and now would like to integrate it into the Website booking form and the backend order form. Please advise.

Docs say "Custom fields can be 5 different types: Extras, Input boxes and Option lists , Text areas and Address search (available only for Shared rides and Hourly hire booking types)

Does this include all 5 types? I was attempting to add a flight number custom field, and this needs to be not only for Hourly, but our point to point option. We don't offer Shared Rides.

I read the whole document carefully, and Flight Number still does not display.

Hi there,
you have set up "Flight number" correctly and you don't need to assign each POI when you assign a Category if all POIs that you want this custom field to show for belong to this category.

With the new design all Custom fields will show on the 3rd step of the booking form right before submitting the form.
We have designed it this way based on customer feedback where most customers stated that they'd rather see the price before filling in a long form with all details and if happy fill in any details necessary before submission.

This may not have been reflected in the documentation so we will have a look.

However, with your set up you can see "Flight number" on the right side of the 3rd step of the booking process if one of the destinations is Airport.

Please check again and let us know if you see any problems.
Kind regards.
