GivePulse Tip: When exporting data with custom fields, expect the format CUSTOM FIELD NAME (CF) [CUSTOM FIELD_ID_NUMBER].

In the example below, the field is titled/named 'Color'

(CF) = Custom Field (this means it is a created field, not a default field) 

[12345] = Custom Field ID assigned

Color (CF) [12345]
