Is it possible to add a custom (persistent) field to a dialog box — for example, the 'Receive' dialog opened from the Register Order Arrivals screen — the way you can add one to a normal page?

Answer

No — the custom field framework is built to work on the majority of standard pages, but dialogs specifically don't conform to the common implementation and storage patterns the framework relies on, so custom fields (including persistent ones) can't be added to dialog boxes at all. If you need to capture or display that kind of data in connection with a dialog-driven action, you'd need to handle it on the parent screen or overview instead of inside the dialog itself.
