Tell us what you are trying to do?

I am trying to show a Custom Field alongside a Repeater Field, but for some reason the Repeater Field will show up, but the Custom Field does not.

Is there a similar example that we can see?

1:47 - I selected "Software" as well as "Software Deal Tier" because this field is in the Software CPT and then this field here is in the Software Deal Tiers RFG.
You should only select the Software Deal Tiers RFG here, not the Software post type. In the Post Relationship Query Filter, select the Software Deal Tiers relationship, as related to the post where the View is displayed. In the loop of the View, you can access custom fields from the parent Software post type using the Types field shortcode with the item attribute pointing to the current Software post like so:

[types field="unit-of-time-base-duration" item="$current_page"][/types]

This switches the context from the loop of the RFG to find the custom field in the parent Software post. That should help you display the "yearly" text here. Let me know if I've misunderstood what you want to accomplish, or if this isn't working as expected.
