Hello @eromi, welcome to Trac and thanks for the ticket.
There is no "custom field" dashboard widget in WordPress core. There is a meta box for custom fields on the editor page, but only when using the classic editor.
What is it exactly you mean?

Hi there, welcome to WordPress Trac!
As noted above, the Custom Fields box is only displayed on Edit Post screen, not on Dashboard.
In the block editor, the box can be enabled by clicking the three dots button at the top of the right sidebar, then navigating to “Options” → “Advanced panels”.
