Field Configuration
Before starting the field configuration, please follow the instructions for creating custom fields
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 traffic lights field allows you to choose from a pre-defined set of field sizes.
Step 3 (Optional): Enable Custom Labeling
If you want to set a custom label for each traffic light state you can do so by enabling the labeling option on the right.
Field view and edit
Clicking the selected status again will reset it to "EMPTY".
