Custom Form Data in Report Templates

Report templates such as the Tax Invoice and Delivery Docket templates can be customised to display the custom form data. The data can only be displayed together in a group, with one line for each field label and value (if you need to separate your data elements on your templates, custom fields might be more suitable for your needs).
