Do you mean more than one row with it?

Hai Atrol,

Thanks for your support.
Suppose i created a custom field 'version' in one project. Type is string . And while closing each bug the version value has to be changed. ie after updating the version the older version values should be there.Any idea ?

Ah OK, now I got it. (At least I think so)

AFAIK this is not possible with standard customization, but should be possible by changing the sourcecode. (but I am pretty sure that this a lot of work)
The bug history contains all information you need for this.

As a wish for future versions of MantisBT you should enter a feature request in MantisBT's own tracker.

Hai Atrol,

I would like to create my own custom field type (Note etc).Ie the custom field should be similar as bugnote in Mantis. Can you tell me where i have to modify to make a custom field almost similar to bugnote. [ The custom field should have all the functionality of bugnote]

Hi Jiffin,
I will not be able to give you step by step instructions how this can be done
To get an impression how custom fields are implemented in MantisBT you should start having a look at
core/custom_field_api.php
