There are five types of Project Custom Fields:
Single-line text field: Collect an answer in a single-line free-text field.
Multi-line text field: Collect an answer in a multi-line free-text field.
Drop-down list: Collect a single answer from a drop-down list.
Number field: Collect a whole or decimal number.
Date field: Collect a date.
When you set a Project Custom Field, it is visible in Project settings under the Project retention policy setting.
