How to Create Custom Fields

Adding custom fields to your internal projects is simple:

• Open your internal project.
• Click the Fields button and select Manage Fields.
• Choose from the following field types: (Text, Number, Date, Single Select).

These fields can be tailored for each project, allowing you to adapt the layout to suit your workflow.

Customization Options ⚙️

• In both List View and Board View, you can toggle specific columns on or off and rearrange their order independently.
• Custom fields appear in the same order as they’re created in the Manage Fields modal. To update the order, simply rearrange the fields in the modal.
• When you copy a project, its custom fields are duplicated too, enabling you to create reusable templates for future projects.
