You can easily find it by clicking on the sign and typing custom-animation.

data

The animation data. Usually, you don't want to edit this manually.

Trying to edit this field with a large animation file might crash your game.

stop on hide

Stops the animation when the part is hidden.

stop other animations

Stops other animations when this animation is triggered.

animation type

Control the animation behavior.

sequence	Sequences are keyframed animations that use the reference pose. Use Start Frame to specific the starting frame of the animation and Restart Frame to specify a frame to go to when the animation loops.
stance	Stances are keyframed animations that use the current position and angles of the bones. Use Start Frame to specific the starting frame of the animation and Restart Frame to specify a frame to go to when the animation loops.
posture	Postures are static animations that use the current position and angles of the bones.
gesture	Gestures are keyframed animations that use the current position and angles of the bones. They play once and then stop automatically.

interpolation

The type of blending between keyframes.

none	No blending at all, the animation will 'jump' from keyframe to keyframe.
linear	Straight linear movement between keyframes.
cosine	Smooth motion between keyframes, this option should have the best quality / compatibility balance for most animations.
cubic	Smooth motion between keyframes, theoretically the best-looking option but might cause issues with some animations.

rate

The overall playback rate of the animation. Can be used to slow down / speed up the animation without editing keyframes.

bone power

The overall influence of the bone values of the animation. For example, setting this to 0.5 will move the bones half of the distance defined on the keyframe.
