If I try to add a publisher by calling and start typing 'communication', only 'Relief Society Communication Specialist' shows up. We have a member that is the 'Ward Communication Specialist' but we had to add that as a custom calling in MLS. That calling is not showing up in the list. I could see the EQ or HP or YM having a communication specialist too. For now, I have to add the ward cs by name instead of by calling. Should I be able to add people by calling even if the calling is a custom name?

(For the ward clerks out there, if you go to clerk resources on lds.org > 'Organizations' > 'Callings by Organization', you can see a list of all the callings in the ward (whether filled or not). It will include all built-in callings and all custom callings. The custom callings will have a star in front of it.)

No. Throughout the LDS.org applications, where there is an ability to make any sort of assignment by calling, the only options are standard callings.
