I tried adding custom field to a subscriber.
I used this code:

var metaMan = MetadataManager.GetManager();

var dynType = metaMan.GetMetaType(typeof(Subscriber));

if (dynType != null)

metaMan.Delete(dynType);

metaMan.SaveChanges(true);

metaMan = MetadataManager.GetManager();

dynType = metaMan.CreateMetaType(typeof(Subscriber));

var metaField = metaMan.CreateMetafield('Token');

metaField.DBSqlType = "NVARCHAR(150)";

metaField.DBType = "LONGVARCHAR";

metaField.ClrType = "System.String";

dynType.Fields.Add(metaField);

metaMan.SaveChanges(true);

I checked the database, and the field is there, i populated this field with data, but I can't retrieve values.
I tried with |Subscriber.Token| in message template, but is empty every time.

Please help,
Stefan
