 * Hi,
 * We are seeing the following error when trying to add a booking from the backend.

 * **_‘Custom field validation failed. Custom field value is missing or invalid’_**
 * I’ve searched around for a clue to what’s happening to cause this but everything
   looks okay. Our custom fields are basic and there’s no validation setting to 
   apply to them.
 * Please can you help?

 * Hey
   What kind of custom fields are you using? Maybe you can take a picture of
   the created custom fields in settings?
