You will be brought to a form with four fields, three of them editable: Parent Category, Field Title, Type, Required?.  
 
Parent Category  
The Parent Category is the category that you are adding the custom field to. All of the subcategories of Parent Category will also inherit this field.  
 
Field Title  
Field Title is the name/title of the field that will show up throughout the site including on the post and view ad pages. Choose the Field Type carefully, it cannot be changes later!  
 
Type  
There are four possible type of fields that you can create: an input box, textbox, dropdown, and checkbox. If you choose dropdown or checkbox a new entry will be created in Input Management where you will be able to modify the choices for the field.  
 
Required?  
This flag controls whether the user must enter a value for the field while posting an ad.  
 
After you are finished click the Save button.
