Choose a QCMM Custom Field Type
Choose the correct QCMM Custom Field type for single-line, long-form, choice, checkbox, date, or repeating customer/subscription data.
Supported Input Types
| Type | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Text | Short single-value text. |
| Textarea | Longer free-form text. |
| Dropdown (select) | One choice from a defined list. |
| Radio | One visible choice from a defined list. |
| Checkbox | A boolean/yes-no value. |
| Date | A calendar date value. |
| Repeating Text | A list of text entries associated with one subscription. |
Dropdown and Radio Need Options
Only Dropdown and Radio definitions use the reusable option table. Their option keys remain stable even if labels change, which prevents an old stored choice from acquiring a new meaning.
Repeating Text Has Extra Plan Behavior
Repeating Text supports a Plan-specific maximum entry count and is the field type that can be customer-editable after purchase when the Plan assignment allows it. Other field types are not made customer-editable by that setting.
Layout Items Are Not Fields
Title, Divider, and Spacer are Plan layout items, not reusable value-bearing Custom Field types. Use them to organize the Plan form without creating subscription values.
Choose for the Data, Not the Appearance
Select the type that matches the data you need to preserve. Changing a field concept after subscriptions already contain snapshots is more consequential than changing a label or help message.
