Sure you can. That's why we have the custom fields manager. In your admin, custom fields manager allows you to create a Format, then each format you can configure each field. Then go to the category manager and set its format to the one you just created in your custom fields manager.

remeber you have a general formats and category specific formats. General custom fields will display with each category, category specific formats will only display when posting, viewing, editing, searching that category only.

You must enable the fileds that you want to display in the custom fields manager in that Format, you must select that format for that category in categories manager, you must not remove the custom fields manager classes in the templates for the post ads, preview ads, view ads, these classes named < !--Ads**-- > and < !--Ad**-- >

You MUST enable the custom fileds manager for that format by checking the box "Active". I see all of the fields are disabled:
