Custom Fields

Custom Fields allow you to create as many custom fields as you desire. When they are created, they are added by default to the Details section of the entry screens between the default fields, and the description textarea. The "Field Order" menu can then be used to manipulate the section and order that they appear in.

FIT custom fields currently support the following field types :
