Custom address book field data is not appearing on my computer

You can only synchronize the data in a custom address book field with a text field in the email application on your computer. For example, you cannot add a contact's birthday to a custom address book field on your BlackBerry® device and synchronize it with the email application on your computer, because the birthday field is a date field in the email application on your computer.
