SharePoint Tasks in Outlook

One of my customers has added custom columns to the tasks app in a SharePoint site.  He has used the Connect to Outlook command to gain visibility of these tasks in Outlook 2016.  Is there any way that the custom columns can be visible in Outlook?  I've tried searching the field chooser but I can't find any way of displaying the custom columns.  Can anyone help?

    Hi Rhian,

    out of the Box there is NO Way to show up custom columns. Not even all standard columns show up. If you don´t have developers who can customize your Outlook, you will find no solution for this.

      André is correct, it's not possible to have custom columns synchronized to Outlook
