Hi there!

I cannot find where to view or change these in the Stripe UI.
Do you mean in the Stripe dashabord?

Yes

They are not accessible in the Stripe dashboard I believe.

How do I access custom invoice fields set on the subscription using the API?
They are not set on the subscription, they are set on the customer or on a specific invoice

The only place I can find in the dashboard where I can set up custom invoice fields is when editing a subscription. I don't understand where these values end up from an API standpoint. They don't seem to be set on the customer or the subscription.

Oh interesting, I didn't knew about this. Give me a few minutes to investigate.

Indeed, these are not stored on the customer or subscription, but they do appear on the invoice.

So if you want to change them using the API, you should not use this and instead use customer.invoide_settings.custom_fields directly

Ok, that is unfortunate. We would like to be able to access the same information in the dashboard and the API so that our application and our sales team can work with and update the same information. Seems like a limitation that there is no way to work with the same custom fields in the API and in the dashboard. Thank you for your help.
