Hi Guys,

I created a custom field in the Public Folder to add some info. we needed.
It displays fine in my PC (profile), but no one else is able to view the
custom field.

Is it possible to create a custom field in the Public Folder and have users
with access to the public folder being able to view that field?

Ty

Are you a folder owner? Did you modify or create a view defined with the scope "on this folder, visible to everyone"? If not, then that's what you need to do.

I'm just an Editor for the folder. So, one of the owners would have to create
the field to make it visible for everyone?

Thanks

Also, all the views are checked as "All Contact Folders"

Yes, that's correct. And it needs to be a view on that folder, not on All Contact Folders.
