I noticed the "Tag" metadata drop down. This is showing some of my custom fields, but not all. I know why a column built from another column wouldn't appear - I purposely didn't pic the option that indicated the new field would behave like a tag.

But, but there are is one date and number custom field type, neither of which specify "behave like tag". So, no column created as a date or number types are appearing in the tag list.

Where do you access them that has a recycle icon to clear the value?

???
Custom Date columns come with a 'Clear Date' button in the metadata editor

You can't have a 'date' list tag . Tags lists are TEXT (includes digits)
