Creating Custom Fields for Articles
For the Articles I also created a Field Group called "Articles Field Group" and a Field called "Articles Custom Field"
In the Content > Articles, I created a new Article: "Test article" and I assigned it to the "Some Category" category.

I don't know if this option to display Custom Fields for Categories, or if I need to configure something else to display it...
