Custom Fields — Customize Tasks

What are custom fields?

Custom fields let you tailor tasks to your workflow. Create your own fields—such as “Priority,” “Department,” or “Estimated Effort”—and enter the appropriate values for each task. This way, you can capture exactly the information that’s important to your team.

Here’s how it works

1. Go to your team’s settings.

2. Click on Custom Fields.

3. Click Create Field.

4. Choose a name and the field type.

5. Save the field—it’s now available in all of your team’s tasks.

Available field types

Color-Coded Dropdown Fields

For dropdown fields, you can assign a specific color to each value. This lets you see the status at a glance—for example, red for "Urgent," yellow for "Under Review," and green for "Approved."

You can create up to 10 options per dropdown field.

Using Fields in Tasks

Once a field is created, it automatically appears in all of your team’s tasks. Open a task and fill in the fields as needed. You can change or remove values at any time.

Permissions

All team members can view and fill out custom fields. All team members can also create, edit, and delete field definitions.

Tips & Notes

• Use color-coded dropdown fields for properties that need to be quickly identifiable at a glance.

• Use the "Person" field to map additional roles (e.g., reviewer, QA manager) alongside the standard assignment field.

• Keep the number of fields manageable—too many fields can make the layout cluttered.
