Since QBO has this "new feature" different from Desktop where you can add "tags" to all of your transactions, it seems like doing the same for customers and vendors should be a quick and easy addition! If Intuit cannot quickly create a custom field such as "Vendor Type", In theory, linking "tags" to customers and vendors WITHOUT NEEDING TO ADD THE TAG TO EVERY TRANSACTION, seems like a viable solution that Intuit should make a priority!
