You can add custom Dynamic Fields to virtually any data type (Story, Topic, League, Team, Game, Media).

Make Your Own Custom Fields

In which ever data type you have, search for either the Tag or buttons.

• Open the Make Your Own row

• Enter a field name. (This will translate to ^datatype.%FIELDNAME% in XPression) Example: ^custom.JerseyNum  or ^scores.vteam.JerseyNum  or ^story.jerseyNum

• Enter the field data manually.

• Specify whether it's a text, number, date-time, toggle field etc. See Dynamic Field Types for more.

• Save your changes.

Reserved Field Names

When you define new dynamic fields - you should avoid using the same name for a field as already exists in the primary fields of the data type you are using. For example in Scores - there is already a field named HomeTeam so you shouldn’t use that as a dynamic field name. If you do - it will be highlighted and identified as a reserved field name in the editor.

If you have duplicated a reserved field name - when using the data in graphics or BLADE output - there is no guarantee which value of the field value you will get applied in your output.
