"Custom Device Information" and "Advanced Device Grouping" - not visible
In my small organization we all have instaled TV14.
On my TV account (admin) I see all "Custom Device Information" in Stanadard TV APP
My employes do not see them .
For the same reason "Advanced Device Grouping" not works for them.

Dear @mLipok,
Thank you for your post.
If you are the only admin for your company profile, you are the only one who is able to create "Custom Device Information", because you are the only one who has access to the administration of the company profile.
The other members of the company profile, who are not admins, are just able to set these values by double clicking on "Insert value" within the software on the affected device.
I hope, I could help you with my answer and wish you a nice day.
Best,

I was not talk about Managment Console.
To be more specyfic let try it with: TeamViewer Protable for Windows
In TVPortable I see all new features, but my employes do not have this freature
In the followed screenshot (it comes from my TV PORTALBE >> ADMIN) I used RED and GREEN boxes to show what is NOT VISIBLE (lack of feature) and what is VISIBLE (feature is possible to use but did not take any effect because some features are NOT VISIBLE)

It appears that Custom Device Information (CDI) only shows up for users that are the "owner/creator" of shared device groups. In your case, you can see the custom information but your other employees cannot as the devices are shared to them.
For CDI to be a useful feature it needs to be visible to other employees or shared users with read/write or higher permissions. I've submitted a report to Teamviewer about it but I am glad you noted the problem as well. I hope this is resolved by release as I would like to use the feature. If it isn't changed, it's essentially useless.

So any changes? Only admin can see this fields...

I am the administrator for our corporate account. I have several users who have been granted "Full Control" for a group of computers. Those users have the "Group by custom device information" dropdown, but it is useless to them. It shows the categories that I created, but none of those categories have any values for those users, even though they have values for me. They also do not have the ability to add values to those categories, even though your answer says that they do:
The other members of the company profile, who are not admins, are just able to set these values by double clicking on "Insert value" within the software on the affected device.
This feature does not work properly. Are there plans to fix it?

I see that you have now enhanced this feature by deleting the Custom Device Information that I entered for 500+ machines. Apparently, your solution to the fact that no one else can see this information, was to simply delete it so that no one can see it - including me.
I wanted to also thank you (i.e., TeamViewer) for your timely response to the questions/comments in this thread. It provides additional confidence that you appreciate the issue, and are working to address your users' concerns.

Are there any plans to change this behaviour? It is pretty useless if I am the only one who can see or sort by these fields.

I sent @Natascha a private message, since she was the TeamViewer moderator who originally replied to this post. Here is what I said:
You responded to the original post on "26 Oct 2018, 11:58 AM." Since then, you have ignored every post. We can only assume that this means you have no interest in actually answering TeamViewer customers' questions, and even less interest in improving TeamViewer. If this is incorrect, prove it by responding.
She proved my statement correct by completely ignoring me. I sent that message on July 23, 2019.

I agree, this is ridiculous. I have posted 2 questions on these forums and neither has been answered, the other one wasn't even acknowledged by any Mod despite being a simple question regarding a feature they outline in their documentation (Base64 Password Encoding).
We won't be renewing when our term is up, clearly Teamviewer does not care about supporting their community.

Once again, looking for some sort of official answer on this issue.
