The custom fields module allows you to create additional fields that can be added to user profiles or groups to capture extra information beyond the default fields. You can add these fields during profile or group creation or while editing them. Additionally, you have the option to display these fields to the public in the profile or group information section if desired.

For Your Reference :
- In the “Category” field, select “Profile” or “Group” based on the type of custom field you are creating.
- To display the information on the profile or group info page, choose “Show on info page.”
- If you want users to be able to edit this field only once, select “Yes” for “Editable only once.”
- Currently, the available custom field types are Short Field, Long Field (Textarea), Date, Number, Dropdown, and Link Field.
- In the Dropdown field, format each option as option_value => option_name, with each pair separated by a comma. For example:
value1 => Option 1,
