What can you do?

Give the field a name: Type a name in the Name text box.

You can't change the name of an existing field: If you're editing an existing field, the Name box is grayed out.

When you finish

To create or change the custom field, and return to the previous window: Click OK.

To return to the previous window, and not create the custom field: Click Cancel.

Possible next step: Set up the TM settings profile for your projects. Edit it, and add filters for the custom fields you just created.
