Testing does not work with custom_field_1. After spending multiple hours at night trying to figure it out, I gave up and went to bed frustrated. This is odd that "first name" works and custom fields do not. Please correct. In the meantime, to save other customers the anguish, add an information line to the testing section. Note, if you have it listed somewhere, it was not apparent (documentation does not count for things like this). Thank you.

Hello @StefanoW7 ,

 

Custom fields will not work in tests - whether that's for insert contact details, dynamic content, or some other means of including a custom field. They will only activate / show in live sendouts.
