    - **Custom field** — Syncs data into an existing custom field already created in Experience Manager.

### Fields Requiring Confirmation

**Confirmation-required fields** are registration questions or data collected where the attendee needs to re-confirm the details they had entered initially. These are useful when there is a need to have a registrant  explicitly ensure what they have inputted is correct. 

🔍 **Note:**  Fields requiring confirmation (e.g., phone number) must be added as a **text field** with the form field, with the **'Ask Confirmation'** option enabled.
