Increase the limit of number of custom fields on Activities

Sales Productivity

We've hit the limit of 20 custom fields on activities, which is quite limiting considering we have a number of activity record types that are used within the company.

I am going to comment again now withou typos:

Arguably the most heavily used and critical object in CRM across all the core clouds and one that all the ISV Managed packages add fields to standardize on the core data model. This limitation is crippling.

Hello Team,
as we are progressing with process automation using Task and Events, it is critical to get a bit more flexibility on the Activities as well. Please consider raising the limit in next prio for upcoming release.
Thx

Thanks for the votes from the community in September's IdeaExchange Prioritiziation. We saw a lot of interest in the idea of not counting custom formula fields towards the 100-field limit of Activity. We are currently working with the team to put this on our short-term plan."

Is this still a priority?

This is bigger problem for activity. Please increase the limit ASAP

Another one of those obvious ideas that has been open for over a decade without any actual work taking place on it. Other standard objects have a custom field limit of 800 (Unlimited edition), and yet we're limited to 100 custom fields across both Task AND Event. At least make it 100 for each, that would help a lot.

Agree that removing formula fields from the count would go a long way to helping this issue!

This needs to be prioritized higher.

This not being prioritized is incredibly disappointing. This limit of 100 fields was, and still is, ridiculous.

We heavily use Events and Tasks in our organization. Our CTI also creates tasks and so we had to create many custom fields on the Activity object and we are at a stage where we are on 100%. We basically are at a stage where the system is becoming not suitable for our needs unless if the object limit is increased even by just 50 fields

14 years in the idea factory, and Seti Alizadeh suggests a Formula exception that gets a response in 20 days. Nice Seti. Thanks. Troy - Seattle.
