I am currently using Dolibar Version 10 on Ubuntu 19.04. What I need: I need the ExtraFields module to allow me to modify the lines you add to the ExpenseReport. What works right now: ExtraFields currently only updates the ExpenseReport fields NOT the lines. What have I tried: I have attempted to modify the code and database to support my desired field types but I can’t get the “add” function to work correctly. I’m not a professional coder. Any help would be greatly appreciated Chris ---

Update: I have figured out how to “hard code” the changes in the card.php and expensereport.class.php files to allow me add data into the new database fields I have created. I think it would probably be much easier to use the “extrafields” module to accomplish this but at least I have it working now. I must now adjust the code for the PDF report generator to fit my new fields. I am still interested in hearing if someone has implemented the extrafields module into the lines section of the Expense Report. Chris ---

Dear Chris, Can you please share the changes you did on the card.php and expensereport.class.php for the benefit of the forum. Also the PDF .ODT file please. I am trying to add two fields (Database field from third parties as vendor) in the line item of expense reports. Many thanks yesbee ---

Hi Chris, I wanted to ask you if you can share how you did the extra fields on expense report lines. I really need to add custom attributes on expense report lines. Wish Dolibarr would make it available soon. Rommel ---

Try this place: Home, Setup, Modules/Applications search for expense, and click the cogwheel to go into settings. Select tab number 3, named Complementary attributes, and make new in there. ---

Thank you jon, however I need it on line items not on the Expense Report itself. ---

okay. Other modules likes orders, proposals and invoices have that option, it is called Complementary attributes (lines). I don’t know if expense reports has that. I do use expense reports, and I did add my own types in Home, Setup, Dictionaries, Expense report - Types of expense report lines Maybe you can use that? ---

Hi Jon, Yes Jon thanks for your feedback. I do know those and I have used them. It’s just that the data I need is on Expense line item. I want to link it to vendor in such a way that one expense report can have multiple expense items with multiple vendors. I also want extra fields like the item bought, the purpose, etc… I just didn’t want to just chuck all of them in Description field which is easy to miss as that is free text. ---
