Custom fields, statuses and labels
Add your own fields to tasks, define the stages a task moves through, and tag tasks with colored labels.
Custom fields
Each project can have fields beside the built-in ones: Text, Number, Link, Date, Dropdown (with your own options) and Person. Values live under More details in each task and as columns in the Table.
- Open the project settingsThe menu beside the project name, then Fields.
- Add a fieldA name and a kind. For a Dropdown, list the options separated by commas.
- Add fieldIt appears in every task in this project at once. Rename or delete it from the same list.
Statuses
Lanes say where a card sits on the Board; statuses say what stage it is at, such as In review or Blocked. Open the project settings → Statuses. Start with the standard set (Not started, In progress, In review, Blocked, Done) or add your own, then rename, recolor, reorder or delete them. Each status belongs to a group (Not started, In progress or Done), and statuses in the Done group count as finished. Set a task's status from the Status row in its window; an automation can set it too.
- Deleting a status does not delete any tasks; it clears the status from the tasks that had it.
Labels
Labels are colored tags, per project, used by every view and by the filter bar. Add them from a task's Labels row or the Board's quick edit; a task can carry several. Swimlanes by label put a card in every row it belongs to. Imports keep Trello and Asana labels and tags, with their colors where the source has them.
