We have date fields that are in the format of (MM/CCYY), however on the date field format option I do not see this available. Is this not a valid option for the date field element or is there a way to customize your own format?

I've never heard of this format before... but you can create a custom format under "custom".

Where is this "custom" option? It is not under date format in the field settings. And this format is just month and four digit year and is used a lot in our applications.

Is this in Genie or the Rich Display? I'm using Genie and I do not see anything that looks like this.

That screenshot is for Rich Display.

So you're using the date field on a 5250 screen? Sorry, in that case, I don't have a solution for you.
