Add support custom fields for your plugin. Add to function boot() of your plugin service provider. ​

php
$this->app->booted(function () {
    if (defined('CUSTOM_FIELD_MODULE_SCREEN_NAME')) {
        \CustomField::registerModule(Foo::class)
            ->registerRule('basic', __('Your plugin name'), Foo::class, function () {
                return $this->app->make(YourPluginInterface::class)->pluck('name', 'id');
            })
            ->expandRule('other', 'Model', 'model_name', function () {
                return [
                    Foo::class => __('Your plugin name'),
                ];
            });
    }
});

E.g: platform/plugins/block/src/Providers/BlockServiceProvider.php line 52

php
$this->app->booted(function () {
    if (defined('CUSTOM_FIELD_MODULE_SCREEN_NAME')) {
        \CustomField::registerModule(Block::class)
            ->registerRule('basic', trans('plugins/block::block.name'), Block::class, function () {
                return $this->app->make(BlockInterface::class)->pluck('blocks.name', 'blocks.id');
            })
            ->expandRule('other', trans('plugins/custom-field::rules.model_name'), 'model_name', function () {
                return [
                    Block::class => trans('plugins/block::block.name'),
                ];
            });
    }
});
