Custom Data Types

What different data types and HTML input field types are supported for Custom Fields?

When creating custom fields, you first determine the type of data you want to store in this field (e.g. alphanumeric, date, whole numbers, etc.). CiviCRM then provides a choice of data input styles based on the type of data.

Available combinations of data type AND input field type ('HTML type') are:

Data Type	Input Field Type(s)
Alphanumeric	Text, Select, Radio, Checkbox
Integer (whole numbers)	Text, Select, Radio
Number (decimals allowed)	Text, Select, Radio
Money (2 decimal places)	Text, Select, Radio
Note (memo)	Textarea
Date	Date Selector (localised)
Yes or No	Radio (yes and no)
State / Province	State / Province Selector
Country	Country Selector
