Price List Line fields called "Custom" (table 7001) + Setup slider called "Use your Custom Lookup"

I need to understand these features in version 27.3 and I am searching for documentation on how to use them.
They are both parts of the New Pricing Experience.
Microsoft responds on a ticket: "at this time there is no direct or official documentation available regarding this version"...

5 of the fields in the Price List Line table are called "Custom" as surname (see image purple). And they seem to be twins to 5 "regular" fields (orange in image).

I need to understand:

* the relevance/need of the "Custom" fields on import via configuration packages = how to perform a well functioning import of data

* whether the "Custom" fields and the "regular" fields are to hold different values

* the functionality of the "Custom" fields - why do they exist and when do the values in them kick in

The Sales Setup and the Purchase Setup contain a slider called "Use your Custom Lookup" (see image).

I need to understand:

* the functionality of this slider

* whether it interacts with the "Custom" fields in table 7001 Price List Line

* how they interact (if they do)

* whether code needs to be introduced for it to become functional = explain via an example

It would be relevant to add documentation on Microsoft Learn on this matter.

I look forward to being enlightened

Best regards
Anne Juul Kruse

Hello Anne,

The “Custom” fields in table 7001 (Price List Line) are purely extensibility placeholders and are not used by standard Business Central pricing logic, and the “Use Your Custom Lookup” slider does nothing functionally unless supported by custom AL code; for a normal implementation and configuration package import, you should populate only the regular fields (Product No., Assign-to No., Variant Code, Unit of Measure Code, etc.) and leave the Custom fields empty, because standard price calculation ignores them entirely, they are not synchronized with the regular fields, and they only become relevant if a developer subscribes to pricing events and deliberately overrides the lookup logic to read those Custom fields instead; similarly, enabling the slider alone changes nothing—it simply allows custom lookup logic to take over if such logic has been implemented, so without an extension, both the Custom fields and the slider are effectively dormant and can be ignored in standard setups.
