Field Configuration

Info

Before starting the field configuration, please follow the instructions for creating custom fields

Create a Custom Field

Step 1: Set a Name And Description

Provide a good name for the new custom field. Make it descriptive, concise, and easy to understand for others who will use it. Avoid using ambiguous or overly technical terms.

Step 2: Configure Your Custom Field

The field allows you to choose from a pre-defined set of field sizes and calendar styles 

Step 3 (Optional): Set dependency

The value of the Calendar Field can depend on other date fields, such as the due date, for example. If you wish to have such a dependency, you can configure it in the date field select.
