The **Custom** tab allows you to define up to **five custom fields** for courses. These fields can be used to store additional course-specific information that is not available in the default course settings.

Enter a **Field Label**, which is required and will be the name of the custom field as it appears in course settings. Next, select a **Field Type** from the dropdown menu:

- **Text** – A single-line input field for short text entries.
- **Text Area** – A multi-line text box for longer descriptions.
- **Select List** – A dropdown menu with predefined options.
- **Checkbox** – A yes/no option.
- **Radio Buttons** – A set of options where only one can be selected.
- **Date** – A date picker for selecting a specific date.

If you select **Select List** or **Radio Buttons**, you must enter the available options, separated by commas (e.g., Option1, Option2, Option3). 

Once all details are entered, click **Add **to save the custom field. It will then appear in the Course Custom Fields list, where you can **edit** or **remove** it using the quick action icons next to it. 

## Where Course Custom Fields Appear

Once created, custom fields will appear in the **Details** section of a course, above the course description. These fields will be available for all courses, including existing ones, and can be filled out as needed.
