Which Data Source to Extend for Custom Fields in Customer Address Form?

Hi @Dynamic 365 Finance, @Dynamic 365 finance and operation, @Dynamic 365FO,

I am currently working on a form customization requirement where two custom fields (Field1 and Field2) need to be added to the Customer Details form, specifically on the Address tab like Field1 and Field2.

As the Address tab uses the LogisticsPostalAddressGrid form part, I reviewed its underlying data source and found that it is based on the DirPartyPostalAddressView. Upon further inspection, this view contains multiple data sources, data source details give below:

LogisticPostalAddressView:

My requirement is to determine the correct data source on which these custom fields should be added. I have tested adding the fields to both DirPartyLocation and LogisticsPostalAddress, and both approaches appear to work functionally. However, I am unsure about the long-term impact and best practice implications of adding custom fields to either of these data sources.

Could someone please advise which data source is the recommended and correct location for adding custom fields in this scenario, in order to avoid potential issues in the future?

Thanks
