Has anyone ever added Custom Fields to the request a Quote Form in My Account -just to get more information filled on the main body level of the nestuite estimate record? whats the best way to do that ? can it be done through an extension ?

There is a SuiteCommerce Extension, Custom Fields, which permits you to add display fields on the PDP from the item record, but also add transaction body fields in checkout. The request a quote button is an alternate path in the shopping cart, where instead of creating a sales order, it creates an estimate. I think the gotcha with that extensions is that it might add only to the sales order.... or if it adds to the quote at all, it would also add to the sales order. You might need a custom extension to add just to the estimate without also adding to the quote.

Thanks! yea I have played with SC custom fields for sales order before. request a quote seems to be using the module Wizard like Checkout does so im wondering if i'll make a extension that that can utilize customFields.estimate instead of customFields.salesorder

@Greg SC Custom Fields doesn't support Quote form in MyAccount. Either you need to customize Quote backend model or Transaction backend model (with a condition set to specific record type). And another performance issue to note - too many custom transaction fields in the Config record will affect the website load times. So, need to keep the fields minimum or avoid using Config fields.

this is the route I went - created SC.CONFIGURATION.customFields.estimate using an extension. so far its just the 1 field on their and it can now submit to the estimate record Thanks @Balaji
