Allow custom Account properties

When we create an account, we have an account name, but we also need to be able to attach an account number. We cannot use the Key field for this because Key is understandably not editable after the account is created - we frequently need to set up accounts prior to receiving an account number from our finance department.

We do not want to use worklog attributes for this, as the people who are actually logging time should not have to know the account number, and since it will be the same across all time logs for a given account, it shouldn't have to be entered with each log.

It would be really helpful to be able to define custom Account attributes that can then be included with timesheet report exports

    An editable custom field for an account would be very useful. We don't manage customers in Tempo, so having a means of referencing their account number from the ERP system would be useful - currently we have to add it to the description. For anyone wanting accurate worklog reporting please consider a problem I have recently noticed where Tempo allows work to be logged in projects against invalid Accounts. This has the potential to be a massive issue for people - see T-I-2466 (link below). https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fideas.tempo.io%2fideas%2fT-I-2466&c=E,1,hwpT1jXG8jw2a8nduo00K6EGRHk3rPZGTdRBPfV9C6MPijrsBTnbGc1IMfn4jRURZ-7uS-8O9ny_GzQwNdvCU7yE_kXsqu46gE7dBr2vxp1thdA_PgtxNQ,,&typo=1

    Hey, we also need that, especially so that we can add a description to each account.

    We also need custom fields in Account creation form and for these attributes to be included in Timesheet reports.
