Welcome to the community @Amrish krish

This depends on how do you want your custom field values to be shown. There are several types of custom fields in Jira:

* Checkboxes - Checkboxes fields allow people to select multiple options for a list to complete the field. Checkbox fields help with data entry by reducing entry errors that could appear in free-form text fields, for example. They also increase correct completions by limiting the options a person has to complete the field.
* Date picker - Date picker fields allow people to provide date information using a calendar selection to complete the field. People can also complete the field by typing dates into the field.
* Date time picker -  Like date picker fields, date time picker fields allow people to provide time of day information using a calendar and dropdown time selector to complete the field. Time fields have two input areas: one to specify the date, and one to specify the time.

* Labels - Label fields allow people to tag issues with reusable text snippets entered as free form text. Jira suggests existing labels to help reduce entry errors. People can also create new labels by typing into the label field.

And more.These are the standard custom field types.
