Yes, you can do the same with the thread table. It will be available if the select query calls it explicitly or via thread.* . If only a select few of the thread fields are called in the query, it won't be available unless you add it to the query. If you are wanting the field to be saved via the datamanager, you also need to add it to the array in the thread datamanager (and, of course, add the field to the info to be saved when the datamanager is called).
