To create a field manually, you can open the page &lt;span class=&quot;path&quot;&gt;Settings &gt; System Settings &gt; Custom fields&lt;/span&gt; if you precisely know the object type ID. The preferred and simpler way to create a field is by using the &lt;span class=&quot;link&quot;&gt;Add custom field&lt;/span&gt; link in the forms that allow adding custom fields, for example: &lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;the user edit form;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;the information block section edit form;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;the blog edit form&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;Creating a custom field is quite straightforward, but there are a couple of points you have to keep in mind.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The option &lt;b&gt;Read-only&lt;/b&gt; will prevent changing the value by a user or administrator. The values of read-only properties can only be set via the API. This option is used with system or critical fields that must not be changed manually.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;When creating a custom field, the field value is set to use one of the existing data types. In most cases the stock data types are sufficient. You can create your own data type if so required.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;learnin-post-text&quot;&gt; &lt;table class=&quot;learning-spoiler&quot;&gt; &lt;thead onclick=&quot;LearningInitSpoiler(this)&quot;&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt; &lt;div&gt;The system offers the following stock data types:&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/th&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/thead&gt; &lt;tbody style=&quot;display:none;&quot; class=&quot;learning-spoiler&quot;&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;table width=&quot;100%&quot; cellpadding=&quot;5&quot;&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr valign=&quot;top&quot;&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Integer;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Boolean;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Video;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Template;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;List;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;String;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Date;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Date and time;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Bind to highload information block;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Bind to information block section;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Bind to iblock section;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Bind to CRM items;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Bind to CRM dictionaries;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;File;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Integer;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Document Library item;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Bind to employee;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Document Library item version;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Poll.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;table cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#cecece&quot; height=&quot;1&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;br/&gt;
