Add or update custom field value on user's profile.- Search and select from field names in use, or enter a new one that will be created.
- If a value for the selected field already exists for the user, it will be updated.
- Value type is automatically detected. To preserve leading zeroes in a number (e.g. zip code 01234), put the number in quotes ("01234") so that it is stored as text, rather than converted to the number 1234.
- To set the value of the field to the current date-logging the day that this step is reached for the user-click the calendar icon in the value box. When the step is reached, the value is stored as the current date in YYYYMMDD format.
- Note: While not required for this feature to work, it is a best practice to end the name of any custom field that stores dates with the suffix "_date" in order to display the value a date on your User Lookup page in the UI. (For example, you might name a field welcomeseries_exit_date.)

For example, if the value of field "score" is "none," and you choose to add 5, the new value will be 5 (0+5).
