Is there a way in the chart of accounts to add a new item to the Detail Type dropdown list? I would like to add types that would make more sense for a church's books.

Let me provide some information about organizing your Chart of Accounts in QuickBooks better, gkline73.

The detail types in the Chart of Accounts depend on the industry type and business type of your QuickBooks Online company. I can see how the ability to add more choices to the Detail Type dropdown menu in the Chart of Accounts could enhance organization and benefit your business significantly. However, the option to do so is currently unavailable in QuickBooks Online. That said, I encourage you to submit a product suggestion through the Feedback section. This will enable our product development team to recognize the demand for this feature and consider it for future updates.

Here's how to send your suggestion:

1. Head to the gear icon.
2. Under Profile, select Feedback.
3. Enter your product suggestions.
4. Click Next to submit.

In the meantime, you can select the closest detail type from the list and then customize the account name to specify your particular type.

Additionally, I’d like to share a useful resource on managing your Chart of Accounts: Manage default and special accounts in your QuickBooks Online chart of accounts.
