Custom fields let you add task details specific to your company’s workflow. Use them to capture information that is not available in the default task form.
Create a custom field
- Open the task creation form.
- Expand Custom fields.
- Click Add field.
- Select the field type.
Field types
- String — enter short text, such as notes or labels.
- Number — enter numeric values, such as amounts, prices, or quantities.
- Date/Time — select a date and time, such as a deadline or scheduled event.
- True/False — choose Yes or No.
Field options
You can configure additional settings for each field:
- Required — users must complete the field before they can create the task. If a required field is empty, the system displays a warning.
- Multiple — allows users to add more than one value in the same field.
If a field is required, users must complete it before saving the task. Required fields are marked with a red indicator in the form.
If the Multiple option is enabled, users can enter several values in the same field by clicking Add.
Configure custom fields
Click Settings (⚙️) next to a custom field to manage how it behaves.
Available options:
- Apply field set to all users – makes the custom field available to everyone in your company. If other users customized their task forms, their settings will be replaced.
- Enable field dragging – lets users reorder custom fields using drag and drop.
