in Financial Report Builder -> Filters -> how does NetSuite determine if a field should show up in the "Add Fields" section? I created a custom column field and it doesn't appear in the list

yeah, the problem is the custom field doesn't show up in that list at all -- even when I type the name of it in the "search fields"

Has the custom field had the "store value" box ticked? https://suiteanswers.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/36502/loc/en_US I apprecaite its a Sales report query but would be similar on financial reports
