The custom Outline code fields are lookup fields and cannot accept entry.

yes but what does it display then? from where it gets the info?

From the lookup list you define in customize fields. The lookup list can contain letters, numbers etc.

For a conceptual view see:

He is using Outline codes for resources. Same concepts for tasks.
