Configuring custom fields

You can add up to 100 custom fields to a project. Custom field types include single and multi-line text fields, date and time fields, check boxes, pop-up menus, integers, floats, hyperlinks, and calculated fields that display read-only values based on input to other fields.

Note: Issue custom fields can be displayed on the Custom Fields tab or in the main area of the Add Issue, Edit Issue, or View Issue dialog boxes. Custom fields for other items are displayed on the Detail tab in the Add, Edit or View dialog boxes. Custom fields can also be included on workflow event dialogs. See Configuring workflow events.

1. Choose Tools > Administration > Custom Fields.

The Setup Custom Fields dialog box opens.

2. Select an item Type. The custom fields displayed depend on the selected type.

3. Click Add in the Active Fields area to create a custom field. See Adding custom fields.

Note: The TestTrack database must be locked to add active custom fields. See Locking projects. To add a field without affecting existing items, click Add in the Draft Fields area. See Creating draft custom fields.

4. Select a custom field and click Edit to change it. See Editing custom fields.

5. Select a custom field and click Top, Move Up, Move Down, or Bottom to change the display order.

6. Click OK to save the changes.

Note: Depending on the changes, you may be prompted to recalculate field values in items. See Recalculating field values.
