Also stuck on this.
Your email notification and reminders are very 'set in stone'. It's a pity as Quickbase is a great platform

Arshad,
When the reminder is sent, it includes a report of the records the user is being reminded about. Can you further explain where you feel that this is deficient?
The reason that there is no ability to select fields for the Subsject and body, is that a reminder is very similar to a subscription where the report might have 1 record or 1,000,records now due for reminder. So the system cannot use data from a field as there could be 1,000 records.
So you would set up the reminder with a message to the user like. "These following projects are now due for review"
Then the user will see the list of Projects in the Reminder email.
