Salesforce for Outlook - Sync Field in Custom Object

Hello.  We'd like to sync Outlook records to Salesforce using Salesforce for Outlook - but sync certain fields to the fields within a custom object. The fields in question that are part of the custom object used to be in the Contacts standard object.  We need the field mapping function from the connector for the field in the custom object we created.

Salesforce for Outlook currently doesn't have the ability to sync fields with custom objects.

For now, you would have to go with the workaround mentioned in the post above. 

 

But would appreciate if you can explain your use case on our idea exchange so others can view and promote it - this will help us gauge the demand of this feature.
