Project custom fields
Custom fields extend projects with data that the built-in fields don't cover. Each custom field has a type, a label, and optional configuration, and field values appear on the project detail page alongside default fields like status, client, and budget.
Available field types
11 field types are available for project custom fields:
- Text for free-text input like notes, references, or descriptions
- Link for clickable URLs to external resources
- Date for milestones, renewal dates, or deadlines beyond the default start and end dates
- Dropdown for single-select choices from a predefined list of options
- Multi-select for choosing multiple options from a predefined list
- Checkbox for on/off toggles
- Currency for monetary values with currency formatting
- Rating for star-based rating scales
- Contacts for references to team members or contacts in your workspace
- Slider for numeric values on a sliding scale
- Range for defining a minimum and maximum value pair
Using custom fields for filtering and sorting
Custom fields appear as filter and sort options in the project list. A dropdown field called "Priority Tier" can filter the project list to show only high-priority work, and a currency field called "Contract Value" can sort projects by deal size. Custom fields also appear in board view as card labels, so key data points are visible at a glance.
Custom fields turn the project list into a flexible reporting tool, with filtering and sorting based on whatever data matters most to your workflow.
