To add a custom field to a content item, perform the following:
For example, on News page, click Custom fields for news link and the News data fields page appears. On Pages page, click Custom fields.
NOTE: You can add and delete custom fields, but you cannot add or delete default fields.
Each type of field you select in Type dropdown box has a default widget(s) for entering data. The following table contains the list of all types of fields together with a description of what is displayed when creating and editing the content item, for which the field is created:
The text editor. For more information, see Text editor .
NOTE: If you are adding the long text field to a dynamic content type, created with the Module Builder, that you want to use for entering some system content, such as java scripts or kendo UI templates, you can disable the parsing of any links, including image links. If the link is a link to an image, the system displays the full path to the image, which means that the link will be broken, if you change the host. You do this by selecting More options » Disable Link Parser.

For more information, see Add a Related media custom field.
If the Allow empty values checkbox is selected, it means that the field is not required and can be left empty. If you deselect it, the field becomes mandatory.
NOTE: When you are adding a custom field to Images, Videos, or Document, this field is displayed on the upload screen, when you upload items via the Image widget, Video widget, or Document link widget widgets. If you do not want to display the custom fields, deselect the upload screens.
