Add Custom Fields

Create the custom fields that you wish to add to your application form.

See How to Add Custom Fields

NOTE: You can only add custom fields where the entity is Learner or Course Enrolment.

If you want an application form-specific question that does not go under the Learner or Course Enrolment, use a Custom Question.

(Optional) Check application form and manually update custom fields

If Auto Merge Learner Details is OFF, you can manually check the custom field data in application forms and update the Learner or Course Enrolment custom fields if needed.
