Continuing with our Custom Fields series, let’s quickly look at what Data Types are and why they matter.

Data Type defines what kind of data the field will handle and whether it’s just for input or for calculations/assessments.

Here’s a quick guide:

• 🔢 Real — for calculations with numbers including decimals
• 🔢 Integer — for whole numbers (no decimals)
• 📝 Text — for alphanumeric input
• ✅ Bool — for assessments (True or False)
• 📋 Enum — for dropdown lists or outputs like: If A, then X; if B, then Y
