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 field allows you to choose from a pre-defined color palette. Easily choose a color, enter a name for the label and press the “+”.

Data structure (automation)
To set the value via automation, you need the following object structure
{ "texts": string[], "colors": string[] }
Example for a green label with the text “Approved“ and a red one with text “Rejected“.
{ "texts": ["Approved", "Rejected"], "colors": ["green", "red"] }
Please note that the order of texts
and colors
is important! Also you can only choose previously configured text/color combinations .
