## Use a Custom Variable

Set the variable type to `Custom` to define a static list of values manually.

### General Settings

Same as query variables:
\* **Name** — Internal reference (e.g., `$threshold`)
\* **Label** — Optional display name
\* **Description** — Optional help text

### Custom Options

Define custom values in the textbox using comma-separated format.

You can specify:
\* Simple values: `20`, `30`
\* Key-value format: `key1: value1`, `key2: value2`
\* Escaped characters: `escaped\,value`

|     |     |
| --- | --- |
|  | Escape commas (`\,`) if they’re part of the value. |

### Selection Options

- **Multi-value** — Enable selection of multiple static values

- **Allow custom values** — Let users add entries at runtime

- **Include all options** — Adds an `All` option

### Preview and Save

1. Verify values using the **Preview values** section.

2. Click **Go back to list** to save and return to the variable list.
