Answer

Custom fields are additional fields that can be added and customized in the Company level Admin tool for certain Project level tools in Procore through configurable fieldsets. See What are configurable fieldsets and which Procore tools support them?

This functionality is separate from custom fields that can be created in the project's Meetings, Submittals, and RFIs configure settings pages and separate from the custom fields that can be added by the Custom Solutions team as an add-on service. See Get Started with Custom Fields from the Custom Solutions Team.

When creating a custom field, you will need to select a field type from the drop-down menu (such as Plain Text, Number, Checkbox, Single Select, or Multi Select). You can then mark the custom field as Required, Optional, or Hidden to control how it appears on projects. See Create New Custom Fields.

For information on how to retrieve configurable fieldsets via the Procore API, see List Configurable Fieldsets on the Procore Developers Center.
