How to add fields to a raster or tiff file

Hi All

I use ArcGIS Pro. I have a soil classification vector file for my area of interest. The attribute table of this shapefile has several fields, such as shape length, shape area, color code, etc. Some fields were added by me, such as color code. I converted this shapefile to a raster using the "Polygon to raster" tool in ArcGIS Pro. Now, several fields are missing in the attribute table of this raster. I can't add those fields as the "Add" button of the attribute table is inactive. I exported this raster file to a TIFF file ( to a folder and also to the Geodatabase), but still the "Add" button is inactive. Is there a way to add fields to the raster or TIFF file?

Many thanks in advance.

you can't add fields to a floating point rasters, only integer rasters

did you try
