Settings — Custom Fields
Custom Fields extend the built-in data model with user-defined properties. A custom field specifies a name, and optionally a data type and entity type (defaults to string extending person). Once defined, the custom field appears as an optional attribute on the target entity type across the application.
Add New Custom Field
Clicking + (requires custom-field:create) opens the Add New Custom Field dialog. Only the Name field is presented; the data type and entity type are set automatically.
