Can I create custom field in the Calendar Appointment view?

[wajie]

Is it possible to add a custom field (either just text field or contains drop
down options) in Appointment under Calendar using Outlook 2003? I don't know
any coding, just trying to use whatever Outlook has to offer. I found out
there is an option called "User-defined fields in folder" under Calendar menu
View/Arrange by/Current View/ Customize View/Fields/Select available fields
from.
But I can't add any field in this dialog.
How does this option work? Does this option do what I mentioned above?
Please help. Thank you in advance.

Switch to a table view like Active Appointments. Then you should be able to
add a custom field. So far, there's no coding necessary.

Hi, Michael,
thank you very much for a such quick and helpful reply!!! I did your
suggestion, and it worked.
Just one more question, I added the custom field in the table view, but the
custom field I added didn't show up in the Appointment Dialog, so when I add
new appointment, I don't have the custom field option. Is this fixable?
Thank you very much.

You need to customize the form yourself: Click Tools/Formulars/Customize
this Form.

Thanks Michael.
I found your replies helpful.

For form customisation (for Outlook Calendar), I think you meant going into any Appointment -> Developer -> Design this form or Design a form -> Choose a page (for example P2) -> Field Chooser -> "User-defined fields in folder" -> (Here you will find the custom column). Once there, just drag the custom item into the form.

(I am using Outlook 2016 on Windows 10).
