| Description | Currently if you add a custom field to something like a forum post, that field is available in all forums. Same with any you add for downloads. Surely this would be more useful if it could be limited to specific forums or download categories, as the idea of it being custom already implies it isn't standard. Or maybe I'm just missing something... |

The custom fields system is a generic subsystem that allows most content types to receive extra fields, but allowing individual categories to all have their own sets of fields is significantly more advanced.
Just added a custom post field now, which is appearing on the new topic form underneath the custom topic field. Quirky, I assumed post fields would be on replies :)
