Custom Data Types
I've got an idea for an improvement to Salesforce, but don't know who I would send it to, so I'm posting it here.
I would like to have an option to create a custom data type. Basically, what this would be is a set of the primitive data types (text, picklist, checkbox, etc.) already available on Salesforce. They would be associated with one another and treated as a single piece of data.
For example, I need a way to store Fiscal Year End in our accounts. I can think of several ways to do this, but none of them are good. What I really need is a datatype that stores just month and date information with no year. I could use dependant picklists, but then the display would be very un-user-friendly.
Instead, I'd like to be able to define a custom data type that has a Month and Day field, and displays them as "MM/DD" or "Month DD".
Where would I send this idea?
