Add Custom Field to Array of Items

I just created a new custom field type, a textarea without the html escape characters function. I was able to add it as a resource on pages, callouts, and modules but if I try to select in as the type in an Array of Items it does not appear. Is there a specific place I need to add it so that it will generate in that list?

Thanks

Re: Add Custom Field to Array of Items

Because Array of Items has to generate all of its field types in JavaScript, it only has a set list of simple options. We're implementing a new callouts field type in BigTree 4.1 that will address this shortcoming by letting you create multiple sets of callouts that can have separate groups (and each callout can use any of the field types).

BigTree 4.1 is slated for release in early Spring (probably mid to late March) but you can check it out by cloning the GitHub repository and checking out the 4.1-devel branch: https://github.com/bigtreecms/BigTree-CMS
