AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To create a custom field on an Inventory Item record to be used as an external ID lookup value in CSV imports, follow these steps: 1. Navigate to Customization > Lists, Records, & Fields > Item Fields > New. 2. In the Label field, enter a name for the custom field. 3. In the Type field, select the type of data that the field will contain. 4. In the Store Value field, select Yes to store the value of this field with each record. This allows you to use the field in CSV imports. 5. In the Applies To field, select Inventory Item. 6. In the Display subtab, in the Display Type field, select Normal. This makes the field visible and editable. 7. In the Validation & Defaulting subtab, in the Unique field, select Yes. This ensures that each Inventory Item record has a unique value for this field, which is necessary for it to be used as an external ID. 8. Click Save. Now, when you perform a CSV import, you can map your external ID column to this custom field. The system will use the values in this column to identify the corresponding Inventory Item records. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
