[Resolved] I would like to display the value of a custom field (or two) in the admin interf

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The issue here is that the user wanted to display their custom fields on their post admin screens.

Solution:
This can actually be done by going to Toolset -> Post Types and editing your CPT then under the area "Post Fields to be shown as columns in Post Type listing in WordPress Admin" you can select the Custom field you want to display.

I'd like to create a custom field that would hold a "delete date" for my custom post type. And I'd like to view this date when managing the custom post type in the WordPress admin interface (screenshot attached). I've checked the Screen Options, but none of my custom fields are listed. Is there a way to view a custom field in this interface?
