  3. Select “Custom Fields” from the dropdown.

  4. Enter a Field Title – Name your custom field (e.g., "Stage").

  5. Choose a Field Type:

    • Text – For entering plain text.

    • Number – For numerical values.

    • Select – For a dropdown with a single-choice option.

    • Multi Select – For a dropdown with multiple choices.

    • Date – For selecting a date.

  6. (Optional) Add a Description – Provide details about the field.

  7. Admin Control Options:

    • Only Admins can edit this property – Restricts field editing to admins.

    • Only Admins can edit the value in Tasks or Contacts – Restricts who can update values.
