DO NOT FOLLOW THIS TUTORIAL. It will mess up your files

[jonmasbro]

how do I add custom details to a folder??, while what is available is that we cannot add details according to the name we want. For example, in a folder there are files, next to the name there are things like the date it was changed, the size and type of the file itself. but how can we add things like that according to what we want by adding a tick to the details section that we created?? please help I really need this kind of thing. If you know how, let me know by mentioning my name in the description section so I know when you explain the latest video
