However, you can create a custom record that encapsulates files and folders and add custom fields to that record. Here's a general approach: 1. Create a custom record. This record will serve as a container for your files and folders. 2. Add a custom field to this record. This field can be of type 'Document', which allows you to upload and reference a file in the file cabinet. 3. Use this custom record to manage your files and folders, and use the custom field to store any additional information you need. This way, you can effectively link files to custom fields, even though you can't directly add a custom field to a file or folder. This approach can be used to develop retention policies for file archiving, or to add supporting documentation for inventory items, among other use cases.
