Currently, if you add a custom field in the customer module, you are forced to have that field both in the portal and hosted page.

It would be nice to choose whether you want it in the portal only or for both.

Sometimes you want the customer to provide you the necessary information after they have purchased the service and/or product instead of having it all on the hosted page, which will be overwhelming.

And have an own section (a separate tab, such as the account information and projects tab) in the portal to obtain the information to make it clear for the customer on where to click to input the information.
