      We should be able to use custom fields in Report builder custom reports. This would allow to add extra information to the report details (like for example a description) and allow for better classification in conjunction with tagging support from MDL-80245

      1. We should support filtering reports by CF content, just as we did for Cohorts in MDL-82529;
      2. CF content should be displayed to users when viewing a report

      This solves a couple of outstanding issues from Workplace:

      1. WP-2422 Report description field;
      2. WP-4907 Report archiving (can be achieved with either tags/CF plus filters)

      Custom fields configuration should be placed under Site configuration > Reports > Report builder section.

      Additional

      1. Once report duplication is supported (MDL-77270), then CF content should also be duplicated as part of report metadata;
      2. Make sure that test generators support creation of CF content;
      3. Ensure they are accounted for in external methods (receiving/returning as necessary)
