Select the type of the field from the drop-down list. For example, select Multiple Choices (Single Selection) from the drop-down list.

Editing a Custom Field
Deleting a Custom Field
Deleting a custom field removes the custom field from the user's profile along with the value specified in it on the User Portal. For example, if 50 users have values assigned to the Social Security Number (a custom profile field) and the network admin deletes the Social Security Number custom field from the Admin Portal, the custom field and the value specified for it gets deleted from all the 50 users' profiles.
Deleted custom fields and their values CANNOT be recovered once deleted.
