In order to access custom Form fields, these are available in the `RecordFields` property. Furthermore there exists an extension method named `ValueAsString` on `IRecord` in `Umbraco.Forms.Core.Services`, such that you can get the value as string given the alias of the field.

This extension method handle multi value fields by comma separating the values. E.g. "A, B, C"
To access custom Form fields, call `record.GetValue<T>(alias)` where `T` is the expected field type and `alias` is the alias of the form field.
