As of the 2025.12 release, you can define Custom Data Columns logic using either a Java callout or a Groovy extension script. The new script type, mvs-custom-data-columns-calculation, enables the same calculation capabilities that were previously limited to Java callouts.

This feature is available for Manage Schedule, Advanced Schedule View, and MR/OTS, enabling multi-tenant and cloud customers to configure Custom Data Columns without deploying custom Java code.
