I'm trying to add a Custom Field in the Quote object to be used in the Tested Field of an Error Condition on a Product Rule in CPQ.
I've added the Custom Field to the Quote Object. Added the field to the Tested Field in the Error Condition object pick list.
But it does not show up in the Tested Field of the Error Condition.
I have tried to add existing Quote Object fields as well with the same result.
Am I missing a step here?
Just want to a bit extend the answer of brezeton above.
In your case you need to create another field (kind of duplicate of your original field) and populate it before setting new value in the initial field. To achieve this, use the Price Rule. On your Price Rule use On Calculate or After Calculate event.
I couldn't find in CPQ documentation what rules are run first - Price or Product, but from experience I can be quite confident saying that Price Rules are running before Product Rules.
Then, create a Product rule where you compare two fields - one with old value and second with new value.
I have just solved this one, had the same issue as I am doing some self paced training as well today. There is another step required beyond adding the picklist value to the SBQQ__TestedField__c field.
This picklist has a controlling picklist, called SBQQ__TestedObject__c and you need to update the field dependencies on this controlling field to include the picklist value you want to see when the object is selected.

Tested field on the Error Condition object is a dependant picklist for Tested object Field(Look at the field above the Tested field in your screenshot). You will have to ensure that the new value you added to the tested field is select for the Quote Object field dependency.
For steps to enable field dependency:
This should enable the picklist for selection when you go back to your error condtion.
