Custom data can either be displayed as multi-row custom data or single row custom data. Single row custom data displays as one field only. To add new details you have to write over what is currently in the filed. Multi-row custom data allows you to create a new entry or record while still keeping records of the previous entries. It might help to think of multi-row custom data as a table. Updating a multi-row custom data field will add another line or row to the table.

Info

You only need to use the multi-row custom action data source option if you are wanting to display multi-row custom data, otherwise use single row custom action data.

Searching for the right field

When you search for the custom data field that you want to display in a column on your list, it should be the merge filed name for that field that you enter. Every custom data field has a matching merge field name. These can have different names from how they display in your system.
