You have successfully created the custom field but you still need to define it as a valid TBX field. To do so:

1. Go to Settings > Customization > Terminology Management and TBX.

2. In the global list of fields, select the custom field you have just created and push it on the concept or term level to the working template.

3. Save the changes.

When you reopen your termbase, you should be able to see the custom field on the concept and/or term level (whatever you have selected above).
