Hi Jaanu,

You did not specify on which page layout you are trying to add this field.

Faced a similar issue in the past and I have managed to do it as below.

Assuming that you want to add a custom field to a task page layout.

When you click the Log a Call button, you’re simply creating a task record under SFDC, So if you want to add a custom field that setup new custom field under Activity Custom Field and then added it on appropriate Task Page Layout.

Below are steup you need to follow
1. Login into SFDC
2. GoTo Setup->Activities->Activity Custom Fields
3. Create new custom field(here its a picklist) by clicking on New Button
4. Once you create custom picklist fields than goto Setup -> Activities -> Task Page Layout
5. Add custom field under appropriate task page layout and click on Save button

Thanks,
