A quick search found this from Broadcom: https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/ca-mainframe-software/traditional-management/mainframe-common-maintenance-procedures/1-0/getting-started/z-osmf-requirements/import-product-information-into-z-osmf.html I know other vendors are aware of the z/OSMF Software Management Product Information files, but I do not know if any others provide them.
Regarding adding fields to the display, no, z/OSMF Software Management has no capability at this time for user-added fields. But I'm curious, can you explain more what you want to add?

The spreadsheet is difficult to keep current. I just started looking at the z/OSMF Software Management feature and like that it can show the End of Support date for IBM products that we add to it. (None of our current products have been installed via z/OSMF, which is another topic) I have a couple questions for people that use it... 1. Do any 3rd party vendors supply a file/link that can be used to update the EOS date in z/OSMF? 2. Can fields be added to the z/OSMF Software Management (for instance, latest GA version available)?
